FULIST 2544

hmmm...I wonder if a checksum could have been used for an index. It would make a change to any file immediately flagged. The owners of those files would have to be the people who answered the phones. I don't remember how nor who generated our phone books.

thought that developers shouldn't have easy access to TTYs came from an IBM card environment. We also had product managers who would promise a customer the first piece of gear off the manufacturing line which makes a marvelous and expensive boat anchor without the software.

JMF was supposed to do work on the Alpha. It took them six f***ing months to get him a system. When he could no longer burp to talk, he was supposed to get a speech device that would hook up to the laptop. He finally got it almost too late. I talked him into getting a device from Children's Hospital instead. He was able to "speak" by typing at the TTY screen for six months before the DEC speech device was given to him. These idiots missed out on six months of active hardware feedback and software development. But, heaven forbid, that he be allowed to do something useful.
