I have trust in your discretion. ------- Forwarded Message Date: Wednesday, 9 Dec 1981 14:43-PST To: ucsfcgl!tef at RAND-UNIX, arpavax.lou at UCB-C70 cc: decvax!aps at RAND-UNIX, decvax!shannon at RAND-UNIX Subject: DEC Vendor Presentation at USENIX From: obrien at RAND-UNIX The schedule you guys saw needs a change. DEC has asked that the C Compiler for VAX/VMS not be mentioned explicitly because they may not be ready to announce at that time. Someone who shall remain nameless suggested that I purvey some good rumors instead. Ever one to cooperate with an enlightened vendor, I herewith give an ENTIRE SUBSCHEDULE for the DEC presentation: Keynote Address - C. Gordon Bell "Why the VAX will have only one operating system" "Elegant Bit-map Raster Design" GIGI Design Team "Trouble-free Disk Technology" RL-01 Design Team "High Reliability Magnetic Tape" TS-11 Design Team "Advanced Small Computer Design" PDP-8/S Design Team "Device Interface Protocol" TU-58 Design Team "Communications Processors" KMC-11 Design Team "Using Communications Processors" DMC-11 Design Team "Physical Therapy for Communications Processors" DMR-11 Design Team "The Importance of a Standard Byte Size" DECSystem-10/20 Design Team "The Importance of a Standard Byte Ordering" PDP-11/VAX Design Team Closing Musical Number: The Marketing Fast Shufflers dancing to "Keeping the Customer Satisfied", by The Field Service Singers Naturally, I trust you gentlement to keep this in the strictest confidence. We wouldn't want any nasty rumors to go around, now would we? ------- End of Forwarded Message ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
