I've seen humerous comments as long at I've been doing computers, which is<br>

On the Burroughs large systems, the master fork controller was called the<br>
MotherForker. There were comments in MCP such as shove it up the stack and<br>
hold on.<br>

I've been a developer off and on for most of my adult life. I'm pretty sure a sense of humor is some a developer has to have - even if it's a pretty dry and nerdy one.<br>

This is kinda OT, but 25 or 30 years ago when I was teaching the<br>
California school systems were pushing Commodore 64 and a little later<br>
the 128s. I was fresh from the music teacher job to classroom. It was<br>
a bunch cheaper than the Apples and I'm pretty sure I only knew Bill<br>
Gates from his name on tape programs for the Vic 20s we had in our<br>
"computer lab". I thought they were a pretty good system and a school<br>
district in SoCal (Perris High School) got a big grant to have a<br>
siphistcated attendance program written in MCP. Whatever happened to<br>
the Commodore company and MCP?<br>

I was into Amigas in about 94-95 when Commadore went bust suddenly. Turned out that the company had<br>
been stripped by the then CEO. Cannot remember his name today but know he was of middle eastern origin.<br>
