The first edition ran on pdp-11, not pdp-7.
Tukey buttered parsnips at the labs, but Brits did
so several centuries before.
Contrary to urban legend, patent was not invoked to
justify the Unix pdp-11; word-processing was. The
quiz does not make this mistake.
The phototypesetter did not smell. The chemicals
for (externally) devoloping photo paper did.
Shahpazian is Dick Shahpazian; Maranzano is Joe Maranzano.
cagbef addresses out of bounds.
I appreciate Rob's discretion about the Waterloo theft.
