Here's another `Human-interface design anecdote'.

A young clerk at NYIT sent a thank-you note to `daemon', that nice guy
who sent her mail on how to get back the files she was editing when the
machine crashed. She asked where Daemon's office was. Daemon replied
that he worked in the machine room and would like to meet her there,
also saying "don't mention this to any of those computer operators, I
don't like them". The poor girl followed instructions, walking past the
operators desks into the machine room without a word. Those operators
didn't stop laughing for five minutes.
