   At COMMON in MSP last spring, I bet Mark Shearer $1000 that I could come
   up with 1000 systems like this, where they either don't know how to get
   current, or don't want a BP to come in. A lot of these places have a long
   time contract programmer who does things for them from time to time. Those
   programmers fear that the BP will start whispering in the customer's ear,
   and before you know it, Joe Programmer is history.
   All these folks want is a number to call at IBM to get some help.
    
   I'm still waiting for Mr. Shearer to send me my money.

     They made such a big jump I really didn't want to
     tell them how dumb they might be.

     They are nice people and have done quite well using
     password security for a little over 12 years.

     I explained the level 40 to them and they said
     "Okey Dokey" and went back to work. The busines
     is very successful and they are marching on as we
     speak.

     The old box is still sitting there running
     it's little heart out.(9402-200)

     This is another success story that never makes
     the news and IBM doesn't even know these folks exist.

     I sent them their first PC this past week. Nobody has
     called to even ask how to turn it on.(the pc)

     The plan is to hook up the PC sometime next year.
