Ah, yes, the monthly posting of the arbitron script. OK, Brian, I do
a ^Z to pt rn to sleep, do an suid to change to root, cd to where I
keep my copy of arbitron, check to see that it's the same version
(let's see, fg to get rn back, look and try to remember 3 numerals
and two dots - it's getting harder as the years go by...), verify
it's the same one, start it running, bg it so I can go back to work
(reading news?!?!?), scan through a few more articles, get my rn
prompt that I have mail, ^Z rn to sleep again, read the mail (my
copy of the arbitron report), fg my rn again, read a few more
articles, notice the rn "mail waiting" prompt, put rn to sleep (^Z),
read the mail..... and guess which machine by the name of ihnp4
decided not to forward the arbitron report!!! Thanks, you jerks!!!

OK, screw it, no arbitron report from tekgvs this month (big deal),
read the news 2 days later, and see the message that arbitron 2.4.2
(lessee, did I remember 'em right this time?) is NOT the same as
arbitron 2.4.2; huh? Well, whaddya; know - he's right: go back to
find the "new and improved arbitron 2.4.2," save it away, put rn to
sleep (^Z), cd to where the NEW arbitron is saved, do an suid to
root, ..., ..., ...

Ain't computers fun.
