The big question this week is, when Reagan urged America's youth to
emulate the entrepreneurial spirit of those young men who started a
multi-million dollar high-tech company in their garage, was he
referring to Apple Computer, which last week layed off 1,200 workers
and closed three of its six plants, or to Hewlett-Packard, which today
announced that its 84,000 employees would be furloughed for three days
next month?  Or perhaps he was talking about Data ("The Soul of a New
Machine") General, which is firing 1,300 people and closing its U.S.
plants for five days this summer?

Actually, he was advising them to emulate Jobs and Wozniak by selling black
boxes to steal thousands of dollars in long distance phone calls from AT&T!
