Hey Folks,

    The other day three of us from my company went down to a Compaq site to try out an Alpha 440MHZ machine with TRU64 as the OS. To put matters in a short sentence, performance was a joke at best. I'm rather inclined to believe it was the particular machine we were using as it is used for lots of demo work & is consequently a mess. Do any of you TRU64 users out there seeing the same performance???

Dilbert's Salary Theorem

    Technicians & Engineers can never earn more than Managers. This is because:

Power = Work/Time
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money
therefore Knowledge = Work/Money
Solving for Money gives Money = Work/Knowledge Now as Knowledge decreases to 0, Money heads for infinity regardless of Work. Received on Fri May 05 2000 - 12:11:28 CDT
