Most of those who smoked when they came here have since quit. In contrast, however, every one of our secretaries smoke. We're working on them... An aside about the technical types who don't smoke: At our ham radio club's Christmas dinner, the entertainment was a local magician. He was about to do the classic lit-cigarette-through- a-handkerchief trick, but when he asked someone for a cigarette, *no one* had any! Not one person in the room (approx 40 people) smoked. ---Bob Hoffman, Pitt CS {mcnc,decvax,floyd}!idis!pitt!hoffman hoffman.pitt@Udel-Relay
