lab@qubix.UUCP (Larry Bickford) (08/27/83)
At my first UN*X assignment, people were often best known by their login names - it was very unambiguous. One rather amusing extension of it was one guy whose initials (and hence login name) formed a common abbreviation for a rather large object. He apparently knew nothing about subdirectories; hence his login directory grew to immense proportions. Such large directories soon were referred to as ****-sized. Since I don't know if anyone on the net could tie me to him, I won't publish (unless you want to make a game of it - the only clues are as given). Larry Bickford, ihnp4!decwrl!qubix!lab P.S. It's hard enough trying to get people to realize that "lab" ISN'T the Engineering Lab (although I am an SE).
