[comp.sys.m88k] Register saving coincidence

jms@tardis.Tymnet.COM (Joe Smith) (12/08/89)

After reading this discussion of caller vs callee saving conventions,
I logged out, and got the following "fortune cookie".  The appropriateness
is scary.

"But in our enthusiasm, we could not resist a radical overhaul of the
system, in which all of its major weaknesses have been exposed, analyzed,
and replaced with new weaknesses."
