    I want to extend a THANK YOU to Michael O'Dell and
    everyone at USENIX associated with the "Musical Offering"
    Peter Langston and Mike Hawley will now recieve some overdue
    recognition

    The entire volume (3,no.2) of Computing Systems is 
    proving to be another method to get others excited
    about UNIX

    Thanks again

regards,
christopher

Ditto here!  My only regret was that I had to wait until I got home to
play the CD since I don't own a portable.  :-)

Now I have to figure out how we can make our DECTalk sing, too! :-)

It shouldn't be too hard since DEC was able to do it. 1/2 :-)
The first time I saw the beast it was singing.   At least to
this poster it sounded better[sic] when it was singing.

Since we're seeing dittos here, I'll just add my own.  The issue of Computing
Systems was very interesting, and the added CD was a terrific bonus.  When
I had it waiting for me as a package in my PO Box (since it didn't fit), I
thought it was "interesting" that it was bigger than normal.  I opened it
up and this CD popped out!  Wow!  Since I was in my car, I popped it in
my CD deck in the car and started to listen.  I started to laugh, since
I didn't know what it was all about (obviously not reading the issue yet).
I started to hear tones, short excerpts, etc...  I fast forwarded and heard
Edie and Eddie and I knew what that was (since I had called the demo before!)

Great job!  And I look forward to seeing more of this in the future.  It'll
be a a collectors item, someday.  Or maybe K-Tel will be making advertisements
on late-night TV, "Not available in stores, 32 tracks from the hotest new
electronic groups ... Computing Systems Presents ..."

As long as we're all loving this thing so much, why not call Dr. Demento
(900/773-7333) and make Langston's "Pecusa Waltz" one of the week's top
Funny Five most requested songs?
