Or don't bother - it'll sit there reminding you that by not using it, you're SLACKING OFF. So it's using you by you not using it. I was about to say what an EBCDIC Bob would be doing, but Bob don't do no EBCDIC. EBCDIC is for Pinks. EBCDIC is highly non-productive, like COBOL, but when you THINK you're THINKing, you're not SLACKING OFF, even if you're doing less useful work than someone who is slacking off. When you're really SLACKING OFF, you fnord well know it. It's possible to SLACK OFF using the Cool Old Bob Oriented Language, but only if you know it's a con. So you can let the EBCDIC OBO steal all your slack, or you can pull the wool over your own eyes. -- # Bill Stewart AT&T Bell Labs 4M312 Holmdel NJ 201-949-0705 erebus.att.com!wcs # ho95c has gone the way of all VAX/785s, so I'm now on erebus.att.com
