- #Complete nonsense. The ARPANET was the precursor to what we now call the
- #Internet. As such, ARPANET no longer exists. Now, in order to give a
- #_useful_ answer, we need _useful_ information:
-
- WHAT? I can't believe that on INFOVAX-L you would insist that someone
- ask a useful question. What happenned to all the nice people? I am
- aghast* that you could say this to My Friend Sabry (tm) who has obviously
- expended a great deal of time and energy lately posting to info-vax.
- And how much have you posted, oh Brian McMahon from Grinnell, with
- the gorgeous coworker who I run into at weddings and DECUSes and never
- remember her name, huh? How much do you post? Well, so there, obviously
- not as much as Sabry.
-
- Oh no, you can sit back and flame him for asking a stupid question, when
- we all know THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A STUPID QUESTION!!!**
-
- I am ashamed and disgusted and really really sorry for My Friend
- Sabry that this happenned.
-
- #DATA, blast it. We need DATA. Or maybe more aspirin.
-
- Such rudeness.
-
- Well I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce the
- My Friend Sabry Doll!
-
- Yes, this furry cuddly fuzzy doll will sleep with you, bathe with
- you, offer you companionship, and even ask good questions. Here are
- some of the phrases this speaking doll says:
- "My system VAX twelve megabytes!"
- "I connect how ARPANET."
- "SYSGEN PARAMETER [and list]"
- and much much more!
-
- Now how much would you pay? Well don't answer yet because you also
- get the Laut addon. This little pack slips onto My Friend Sabry Doll
- and makes it offer biblical lessons like:
- "Friends all be lets"
- and
- "other cheek turn, parameter where?"
-
- Now how much would you pay? Well it comes with the Vance Hammerly
- Gratuitous Command Procedure, guaranteed to demonstrate bad DCL code
- any novice can use to fix.
-
- You can use My Friend Sabry to instruct, to teach, and to carry with
- you to have as a friend while everyone else is in the bedroom having fun.
- You can have My Friend Sabry to hug and hold and feel warm and cuddly,
- because there is no such thing as a stupid answer!
-
- The My Friend Sabry fuzzy doll is on sale at a store near you.
