An Entry from the Archives

I just arrived in Scottsdale and walked in late to the first session of PC Forum.

I was late because our America West plane sat on the ground for 3 hours as they diagnosed and fixed a faulty oil pump. Of course, things break and I don 't blame them for that. But the first 1.5 hours were spent on faxing the diagnostic procedures from Phoenix to Boston.

Faxing?????

I used to work at Interleaf. We had this problem solved in 1989.

Then, for the 9 hour flight (6 hours flying, 3 on the ground), we were rewarded with a thimble-size package of roast peanuts, but only if we clapped our hands together like trained seals.
