Oh, humph.  We had a copy of the song book, all right, but I don't think we
ever did that.  Every SJCC I went to we were too busy fooling with equipment.

(If you have the new edition of Computer Lib, the kid sitting at the keyboard
in the picture at the bottom of page 110 is me.  But the claim on page 111 that
we got BA rather than BS degrees to avoid math courses is entirely false.)
