 |  |  | #1791 |  | Frankly, Scarlett, I don't have a fix. -- Rhett Buggler
 
 |  |  |  | #1792 |  | [From the operation manual for the CI-300 Dot Matrix Line Printer, made in Japan]:
 
 The excellent output machine of MODEL CI-300 as extraordinary DOT MATRIX
 LINE PRINTER, built in two MICRO-PROCESSORs as well as EAROM, is featured by
 permitting wonderful co-existence such as; "high quality against low cost,"
 "diversified functions with compact design," "flexibility in accessibleness
 and durability of approx. 2000,000,00 Dot/Head," "being sophisticated in
 mechanism but possibly agile operating under noises being extremely
 suppressed" etc.
 
 And as a matter of course, the final goal is just simply to help achieve
 "super shuttle diplomacy" between cool data, perhaps earned by HOST
 COMPUTER, and warm heart of human being.

 |  |  |  | #1797 |  | Given its constituency, the only thing I expect to be "open" about [the Open Software Foundation] is its mouth.
 -- John Gilmore
 
 |  |  |  | #1798 |  | Giving up on assembly language was the apple in our Garden of Eden:  Languages whose use squanders machine cycles are sinful.  The LISP machine now permits
 LISP programmers to abandon bra and fig-leaf.
 -- Epigrams in Programming, ACM SIGPLAN Sept. 1982
