I was digging around my desk looking for something and I came across a
quaint piece of UNIX history. Many years ago HCR gave away “foobars.”
They had a gold one, which Rick “Seismo” Adams won and a silver one
that I have in front of me now. The ounce of silver was never really
worth enough for me to want to cash it in (I think Rick promptly did so
with his ounce of gold).

Really doesn’t look like much, just a bar. THey had put “HCR FOOBAR”
on the thing with letraset or something but that all flaked off over
the years.
