Chorus: And I'm Ready to write a shell again Ready to put my life on the line For you Been living with nothing to show for it I'll do what I can when I go for it But I'm ready to write a shell again For you ---------------------------- Of course this led to the immortal: "I Write The Shells" ---------------------------- Lyrics from "I Write the Shells" I've been around forever And I wrote the very first shells I put the syntax and the programs together I am BERKELEY--and I write the shells. Chorus: I write the shells that make the whole world cringe I write the shells of Bourne and other weird things I write the shells that make the users all cry I write the shells, I write the shells Barry has of course written other songs speaking of his fascination and thorough knowledge of computers, but I see that time is closing in on us. Be sure and be here next week, for BARRY MONEYLOW'S GREATEST HITS including All the Time--a song of system load time Weekend In New England--a tale of a trip to MIT Mandy--a song dedicated to the one woman who inspired Barry to turn his back on women and move into computers Could It Be Magic--an amazing saga of an 11/70 that ran speedily, dumped in 10 minutes, had a games file open to everyone, and had 163 terminals on it plus 45 dialups.
