Bored while waiting for compiles, I opened my newly arrived package of IEEE
SPECTRUM Direct Request Information Cards.  Along with ads about IC manuals
and multitesters, I find (*surprise!*), that a company called Computer Dynamics
in Greer, South Carolina, is advertising bathing suits!  What a funny name
for a sportswear company!

Let's look at the copy:
"NO TIME FOR ASSEMPLY PROGRAMMING?"
Well, I guess she just can't wait to get to the beach.

"For the engineer with a computer control project to implement,..."
Okay, folks, it's revelation time: how many of YOU program in your bathing 
suit? (no, not your birthday suit)  What about you hardware folks who actually
get down and assemble iron: do you wear your bathing suit in the lab while
soldering and so on?  I'll start: I don't, at least not at the office, and
*never* in March.  'If you can't stand the heat, get out of the computer room.'

I'm sending letters to the Advertising Director of IEEE and to Computer
Dynamics, suggesting a professional attitude is more appropriate.
