Syslog, Stardate: Today. Put 3-year old in bed and kiss good night... Race down to find the tape of Al's debut in VCR. Rewind tape to start... Fastforward through infomercial on excersize equiptment. Note to self: I'ld rather look at these models than Al. Wonder if IBM can get them in the .com show. Fastforward through hair replacement infomercial. Decide that balding is still beautiful. Note that there aren't any nice looking girls on bicycles in show. Wade through the infomercial disclaimers. .COM starts. Note to self: in spare time, determine who looks older, Yoda or Mark Hammel... Also note that nobody is using a IBM Thinkpad in the main set. Sony gets prominent airplay... Doze through lead in stories. Wakeup with a jolt at view of Series/1. At the worry of recurrent IPX nightmares, stay awake. Confused as to why all those people are smiling in a IRS piece. Conclude they are either stoned or getting refunds. Replay frams to view address on check being written to IRS> Iseries piece finally arrives. Wonder who the gal in the white turtleneck is. IBM'ers appear to be poor script readers. ABSOLUTELY STUNNED that ONCE AGAIN, IBM (Buell) leads in with promoting M$ products over OS/400. Specifically mentioning NT and Eunochs, but NOTHING about OS/400. Note to self: Consult tarot cards as to reason why IBM insists on promoting (expletives deleted) M$ products and ignores their own SUPERIOR stuff. Replay frames to see if someone left QSECOFR password floating around on a screen...:) AL! NICE TIE! :) Why did you say "redundant" systems??? We do a great job with just one...:) Screen fades back to girl in white turtleneck, segment ends and Yoda returns. I flip off VCR wondering howmuch IBM paid for that infomercial...:) AND, why they didn't do a 60-second spot on the Raven Bowl instead...:) Popcorn bowl empty...pwrdwnsys... Don inDC...:) +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
