	What has this world come to?  We recently hired a new programmer,
fresh out of a highly respected computer science at a highly respected ivy
league school.  Burrowing through the mess on my desk, I discovered an
announcment of a talk Ken Thompson gave last week at a local Unix user's
group meeting.  "Hey Brent, you want to go see Ken Thompson last week?"
"Who?"  "Ken Thompson."  "Who's that?"  "You never heard of Ken Thompson!?"
"No, who is he?"

	Either they don't teach kids anything in school any more or I'm
older than I thought.
