| Actually, this DEC propensity for using the personal name field for all
sorts of snappy sayings causes havoc on the Internet, where many mail
and news readers list the personal name rather than the Email address
in Directory listings, headings, and other places.

| By default, you don't have any PN, so he must have set it.
Of course, fancy slogans are impossible for a CEO, using the name is
just o.k. - so the question is, why didn't he use "Bob Palmer" but
"BOB PALMER instead.
I think it's a tribute to the old-time DECcies, techies and SW staff,
to remember the times when everything was written in all capitals
(like DEC, e.g.). See - I'm not a sharp dressed, sales-oriented
suit-wearer, I am a techie-freak at heart.

my guess is that when his p_n was set, he (or whoever did it) didn't
put it in quotes..."Bob Palmer" will produce Bob Palmer, whereas Bob
Palmer will produce BOB PALMER...

well either way, he needs a new p_name. I gave him two suggestions, but
I don't think he will use either one. Oh well, maybe we could sponsor
a contest, and best p_name wins. For a prize you get a personal memo
from Bob, thanking you for your efforts.
