[comp.misc] How to Tell a Computer Type

smith@COS.COM (Steve Smith) (06/25/87)

The following was posted in the employee's coffee room here at COS:

There are sponges for your use, if you make a mess.  They are easy to
use.  Just follow these simple steps:
1.  Pick one up from the sink
2.  If it's wet, rinse it and wring it out
3.  If it's dry, wet it with water and wring it out
4.  Move sponge back and forth on the mess you made until the mess you
    made is gone
5.  Rinse and wring out sponge and return it to the sink.


In case you're not sure if you make messes because you don't know what
they are, then you should be aware that a mess may be any one (or a
combination) of the following:
1.  Pools of any liquid (ex. coffee) in large or small quantities
2.  Bagel crumbs
3.  Sugar or sugar substitute grains
4.  Empty cream cheese boxes and foil
5.  Anything splattered or spilled
	(A)  On the counter
	(B)  In the microwave
	(C)  Even on the floor
6.  Anything similar to the above

Jeez, haven't you guys down south heard of concurrency?  It's real big in
computer science.

Oh, here's the :-)
