      From: joe@user.com              By the way... When you sent email to engineers at Tandy in the 1984-1985       timeframe, you would send to nameli@trsvax       where name was usually (but not always) first name and last initial.       trsvax was originally a vax, but it was so slow and crashed so often it was       replaced with a MUX motherboard with Model 16 boards in it, and 4 of the MUX       com cards. This gave the machine 18 com ports. Trsvax was actually a       modified Model 16. And MUCH more reliable than the vax.              The vax was then renamed and moved off strictly as a software repository and       snoop machine. At one point there was software on it (allegedly) that would       log keystrokes, but then everyone kept a script running at their desk that       would open a file, move paragraphs around, put it back, reopen it, edit it,       put it back, all day long, just to keep their 'productivity' up. Management       at that time played some really dirty tricks, but then so did the       engineers...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
