I don't believe IBM would ever do anything so undignified. I heard this story some years ago about some small Silicon Valley outfit, back in the days when the programmers wrote 6502 BASIC interpreters while smoking grass and the management made million-dollar deals while snorting coke (yes, there was a class system...). But I can't remember what company it was supposed to be. David Casseres Exclaimer: Hey!
