     I also enjoy reading the bulletins and would like to
     encourage mgweed!rjr to continue his postings. By the
     way, the lower case modification is a definite improvement.

     Keep up the good work! 

     Just one question: What's a "mgweed"? I've been
     wondering about that for a while, pronouncing it as
     "mag-weed". We've got lots of "tumble-weed" around here -
     any similarity?

Mgweed (pronounced mig-weed) stood for Montgomery Western Electric
Engineering Development.  (Named before we became AT&T Consumer
Products!)  All six UN*X machines on our site have similar names
all beginning with 'Mg' and four more letters.  Orders from corporate
headquarters dictate this naming scheme..

Thanks for support on the bulletins...
