[ Back in 286/386 days . . .

You think YOU are old? Well, I used to work for a company
called Wang Laboratories, generally credited for
inventing Word Processing, years before the advent of the
personal computer. I remember the when the 286/286
revolution spelled doom for Wang... I'm not boasting, my
arthritis flares up when I boast...
