Unless my wetware memory is severely corrupted, I graduated Sanborn
Regional High School Class of 1995. I entered UNH Fall 1995, and
withdrew Summer 1997. And I distinctly remember attending a talk at
UNH, by some guy with a funny accent, in an auditorium packed full of
people. And I remember some other guy, with a big gray beard, giving
the funny-accent guy a *very* dirty look when funny-accent guy said
"Even a single P6 kicks ass." Maybe I'm confusing all that with some
*other* operating system, but I don't think OS/2 attracted quite that
kind of fan following, even back then.
