"All Craftsman(R) tools double as hammers."

I have very little sympathy.  Did it ever occur to you that there
are more ways of getting software into (or out of) a cube than
the floptical drive?  (Do you have access to a NeXT?  How many of
your potential customers are going to have a NeXT workstation and
\nothing/ else?  Do you even know what a "workstation" is?)
