I guess I'm enough of an OF to understand and appreciate much of what's

I compared someone to Mel earlier today. They used an unimplemented I/O
instruction as a delay. It reminded me of putting the next instruction
at the sector that just passed the read / write head, thus causing a
delay waiting for it to come all the way around again.

I don't remember the first place I saw VAXen my children... but I know
that I have always appreciated it. I've even put a copy of it on my
website.
