We use 1100s at work. Boy, for a 2 MIPS machine it seems awfully slow. Anyway,
one of the guys had a mug that said something like RAT PATROL on it. When I
asked him about it, he said that he got it when he was working for Sperry at
Disney. I presume this was either after Uncle Walt died or that he never
found out about it.
