Who else remembers when DMR crossposted to comp.unix an announcement of
a Q-Bus modem card under the subject "Q-Bus Integral Lightning Rod"? Or
when he denied ever being a membee of the "demigodic party". Or when he
and Ken Thompson appeared on the cover of Byte(?) and in the background
on a VT100 was the command "$ cat xxxxxxxx > /dev/lp". No fancy printer
daemons for those guys! He definitely had a sense of humor.
