More rumours and jokes about IBM... http://www.snopes.com/humor/business/mouse.asp http://www.snopes.com/computer/program/stroustrup.asp http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/salted.asp http://www.snopes.com/quotes/kenolsen.asp And then there is my favourite rumour... ;-D "Apparently IBM decided to have some parts manufactured in Japan as a trial project. In the specifications, they set out that they will accept three defective parts per 10,000. When the delivery came in there was an accompanying letter. "We, Japanese people, had a hard time understanding North American business practices. But the three defective parts per 10,000 have been separately manufactured and have been included in the consignment. Hope this pleases you." . Today's rumour: today is Friday! ;-D Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
