IBM

IBMers...

Q: How many IBM types does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 100. Ten to do it, and 90 to write document number GC7500439-0001,
Multitasking Incandescent Source System Facility, of which 10% of
the pages state only "This page intentionally left blank", and 20%
of the definitions are of the form "A ...... consists of sequences
of non-blank characters separated by blanks"

The old jokes are the best! :mrgreen:

Nah - Then the doc would have a 2-5-2 part number, probably starting with "EK," and there would be discussion of highly improbable "/FOO=" options instead of jokes about space-separated spaces...
