- Nice. He posts a list of machines using a variety of processors from a
- variety of manufacturers, and you run back a list of IBM and IBM-compatible
- processors all from the same family. I notice that you don't claim that your
- code will run on the System/36 or /38, the AS/400, the System/88, or the IBM
- PC or PS/2. Besides, I tell you unequivocally that this code will not run
- on any S/390 that happens to be running AIX/ESA. NeXT?

- Quayle stumbled in response to a question about his opinion of the Holocaust.
- He said it was "an obscene period in our nation's history." Then, trying to
- clarify his remark, Quayle said he meant "this century's history" and added a
- confusing comment. "We all lived in this century, I didn't live in this
- century," he said.
