I guess I'm enough of an OF to understand and appreciate much of what's 
sed.  At least I think so.

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.
