Jeff, m'lad, that technique was already old when we got our first /38 in
1982.

Isn't it annoying when these ex-S/36'ers (and even worse, the
wet-behind-the-ears kids) claim to have invented something on the /400 that
was used for YEARS before the /400 came out by the few, the proud, the S/38
bigots?  <VBG,D,&R>
