the definition I was told in the 60s was the Society for Continuous Inebreation During Share back in the days of open bar ... and one of the activities was seeing how many bottles could be slipped into your jacket for when SCIDS was closed. The story I was told at the time was that IBM'ers weren't allowed to include alcohol in travel expenses ... so it was bundled as part of SHARE registration. The other activity was thursday night (actually very early friday am), after scids was closed ... the unconsumed beverage was taken to the SHARE president's suite ... and one of the activities was helping limit the amount that had to be dealt with. -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
