Oh yea of very short memory (and young age?).

When I was a kid .... in the long lost days when Steve Jobs was almost a
boy, and hacker wasn't a four letter word, I used to sell Apple II's to people
and they like them ('twas only a Saturday job, mind you). And the software
of choice was VisiCalc runnin under DOS 3.3 for it was better than DOS 3.2.

And then the evil beige darkness fell across the land in '81. An lo, people
did forget that PC means personal computer and not a pile of shit built
by IBM. An so the term DOS was corrupted (though IBM had invoked that
name before -- Disasterously OverSized)

Whats that nurse? Oh, it breakfast time. I have to go.

Send donations to "The Alan Turing Home for the Recursivley Bemused", these
old hackers need all the help they can get.

Can anybody spare a Twinkie? A Jolt?
