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. bp
