Years ago, the summer after high school while waiting for college, I applied for an ad by a startup for a programmer. On the phone, they said it was programming an MIS system, asked if I could do that, and asked for a resume. Not knowing better, I simply showed up with it, ended up talking and they showed me a machine. It was an Osborne, not an IMSAI, but I didn't say anything. I got hired on the spot when I showed them how to do something that had been vexing them, and six months later I finally asked what "MIS" meant. The director of R&D laughed, and said, "You wrote one, and now you want to know what it is?" :) -- Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
