  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.
