Who is that?  I posted back in May 1990 about people giving Commodore a
break and waiting for 2.0.  In that post I said "Things.  Take.  Time."
A few days/weeks later I noticed someone was using that phrase as an
anonymous quote... then when I returned to school this fall and started
reading comp.sys.amiga, I see that this phrase is being attributed to
Piet Hein.  Now, I know I'm not the only person who's said "Things. Take.
Time.", but I think that in this case the quote was 'heard' from me.  Anyway,
I release any copyright I may have had on that phrase.  Use it as you will.
You can even attribute it to someone named Piet Hein.

BTW, while all of the above *is true*, I hope you don't take this all too
seriously.  :-)
