I work as a programmer for IBM, and work on my A500 at home. I much prefer programming my Amiga, but that's beside the point ;-) At work we asked everybody what they though IBM stands for. Here are some of our favorites: Inferior, But Marketable I Buy Macintosh Internal Beaurocratic Mess Incompatible Business Machines Itty Bitty Machine It's Backwards, Man This was not intended to start a flame fest. I just thought they were kind of funny. :^) It you feel the urge to charcoal broil me, please send flames to rbw@spock.byu.edu. Robert Wille (rbw@spock.byu.edu) You can measure a programmer's perspective by noting his attitude on the continuing viability of Fortran. -- Alan Perlis
