An old friend of mine, Frank Maberry (now at the U. of Illinois) used to
work at the Baylor hospital computer center in Texas.  The people working
there got annoyed at the number of times IBM sales reps came through with
prospective customers, so he says that they put up a needlepoint sampler,
nicely framed, over the console.  It was a quote from the science fiction
story "When Harlie was One":

			   IBM
			 You BM
			We all BM
			 for IBM

Frank says that IBM didn't bring many customers through after that.
