The "Microsoft office" approach to xTalk programming

[John Vokey]

Funny!

BTW, although `Vokey' is an old English name (and unduly common in 
Newfoundland), my mother was a Scot, but she only tried make her 
children eat haggis *once*.  We all survived, although memory of the 
experience still gives me shivers.  I still think, however, that the RR 
interface violates the Scottish engineering tradition (which, as we all 
know, could repair a starship with two sticks, a rock, and expletives 
with a heavy burr), and would offend the likes of my dead, Glaswegian 
grandfather! ;-)
