FOEGThanks to all of you who left comments while I was away. I hope that I have now addressed them to your satisfaction, and I must point out that I am very honoured indeed to be a member of The FOEG.
No, I sadly never met the Big-E in person, but the chap pumping his fist in Chapter 2 is a great friend of mine, though sadly he's lost much of his hair now and shortly after the photo was taken they were able to pound the monitor into releasing his arm with only 4 stitches required just below the elbow - a lucky escape really. Many lessons were learnt in monitor manufacture as a result of the expensive subsequent legal case that split Hewlett and Packard so acrimoniously. For a while it seemed that "I" was going to be without it's "BM" too, but an out of court settlement ensured many more years of corrupt incompetence for the world of IT. |
