Pale blue automobile (Maserati?) convertible with "GNU C" plates
spotted travelling south on CA Highway 1 near Santa Cruz Saturday.
Attempts to overtake same failed due to a lack of computational
power inherent in CISC Cadillac design.
Anyone admit to owning this baby? (We assume "official business")

(We assume "official business") It's not mine (sigh). Actually, you should be able to get Michael Tiemann to 'fess up. I thought the car (yes, it is a Maserati) was silvery rather than light blue, but I haven't looked all that carefully. Presumably the folks who do personalized licence plates don't do "+" signs? So what *was* Tiemann doing on CA 1, anyway? And does this mean you can get rich doing free software? Enquiring minds want to know. Thomas Maslen maslen@neon.stanford.edu
