Cynthia Livingston and I thought it might be fun to have T-shirts made for the UNICOM conference in January, here in San Diego, and we've been racking our fevered brains for ideas about what to put on them. I thought it might be useful or even productive to let the net have a crack at making suggestions while we are away on vacation. Here are some things to get y'all started (attributions are not guaranteed to be accurate): Does IBM hacking leave you feeling tense? [front] Try UNIX brand Operating System! [rear] (abbreviated from floyd!trb's parody) (actually, the longer version might be nice too) I Was a Teenage AI Project (inspired by vortex!lauren, floyd!trb and others) VAX/VMS: Systems Software for the Sixties (apparently a popular slogan at DEC) I Ported UNIX to the HAL 9000! (sri-lanka!clarke) DWB/UNIX: The Dreamer's Workbench [front] (I Ported UNIX to the VAX11/810!) [rear] (inspired by decvax!aps and friends) UNIX is the only system where ED can SEE his EX MAKE a DATE with a NICE MAN WHO has a PLOT to SLEEP AT a CRYPT where the TAIL of a CAT can STRIP the SPELL FROM a FINGER that will WRITE in TAR on a WALL for the LAST TIME when an ERROR in a SORT of TEST will SPLIT a FOLD in a FILE and in SYNC will FIND a WC in WHICH U can TOUCH or just VIEW the STRINGS of LINT on this TEE-shirt. (Yecch.) Surely most of you can do better than this... Send your improvements to sdcsvax!sdchemc!cael and/or sdcsvax!sdchema!donn. Donn Seeley UCSD Chemistry Dept. RRCF ucbvax!sdcsvax!sdchema!donn
