First, someone at Tektronix incites acts that are at best strongly anti-social.
Now, someone there incites murder. I find that rather remarkable, actually.
It seems to me that the emotional, moral, social, and intellectual qualities
demonstrated in the communications of these two individuals can scarcely help
being reflected in the quality of such work as they may produce. Indeed, if
they are at all indicative of any significant quantity of the people Tektronix
is currently employing, it may well be necessary to more closely evaluate the
quality of that company's products. I certainly hope that is not the case; we
have long held Tektronix equipment in quite high regard.
Perhaps, of course, it isn't really their fault. Has anyone checked the well
at Beaverton lately? Perhaps somebody has been dumping a little dust in it
occassionally just for kicks.

let me get this straight: because of a pair of asinine articles in netnews, you consider tektronix oscilloscopes politically incorrect? amazing. i won't ask whether you're accepting graduate applications from princeton students -- i fear i know the answer. peter

Oh, come off it. Tektronix employs 20,000+ people. Hundreds have net access. Most of us are quite inoffensive (like me :-)!! ). > Perhaps, of course, it isn't really their fault.

I apologize on behalf of my fellow Tek employees, Frank and David. I am ashamed that these two choose to represent Tektronix through insults and threats. Judge our products by the quality of the products themselves rather than the attitudes and behavior of two of our 20,000 employees. Brad Needham Tektronix, Inc. ...decvax!tektronix!tekecs!bradn
