My wife just handed me a pair of Unix Expo Digital Equipment key chains.
Don't know if I ought to EBay 'em for quick cash. Maybe a PII or PIII
for my new motherboard.
The logo d|i|gi|t|a|l in maroon (yeah it's the reworked logo not the
good old blue and white). The standard green UNIX license plate and Live Free
Or Die. (New Hampshire)
The other side a California (The Migration State) plate with the letters
Y W8 4 HP.
Damned if this wasn't prescient. Why Wait For HP --- cause Palmer,
Pfeifer, Capellas and Compaq made a big mess of it. I'm not sure Carly
will do any better. My judgement on Lucent/AT&T managers is they
aren't much better than Compaq's whiz types.
