A local station here in the Bay area just ran the Tracy/Hepburn classic "Desk Set". For those that don't remember, it revolves around installing an "electronic brain" in the research department of a large (radio?) network. The amusing aside is the writer credits: one William Marchant. For those that don't see the humor, (or weren't around then) the Merchant calculator was the canonical scientific calculating device before the commercial availability of computers. The coincidence of the names was quite amusing to me. -Mike
