    	Gee, I like Bob's personal name. I think it' great! I wish
    	I had thought of it first!

    
    
    I think he should use, "Gerald Sacks ZZKO2-3/N30 DTN:381-2085"
    
    

    
    How about "Better dressed than Ken"?
    
    -b

Mike, you spelled ZKO wrong.

    
    
    
    Sorry, Gerald, fatfingeritis dontchknow.
    
    
    

    
    
    nuttin' wrong with fatfingers, donchaknow...
    
    
    

    re .3:
    
    or Better than Ken's dressings?

I guess we used to be Ken's stakeholders.

    Who is this Ken guy?

    POWDML::PALMER "True CEO's eschew obfuscation"

    How ' bout "simply irresistable"?
    
    

    How about, "Would you like fries with that?"

    Juxtaposing the bifurcated info highway

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.

	When he was in Hudson running things, I heard a lot of names he was
called. 

	"Bob not a hair out of place Palmer"  

    
    ...or...

    Hey, that's mine 8^)!

    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.

    How about:

    his videos usually

I musta missed those DVNs.

    
    "Have Porsche, will travel"  "I'm CEO, and your not"

>  "I'm CEO, and your not"

definitely the best yet!  :)

Yes - and back when all we had was ASR-33's and VT05's we actually
did speak with voices raised most of the time . . .

Jack that's supposed to be "We aim to please.  You aim too, please."

    Uhhhh....sorry

    I guess he can't use the infamous line from the Lion King:
    
    "I just can't wait to be king"
    
    Don't you think shouting BOB PALMER has more of an effect than Bob
    Palmer?

    > with voices raised most of the time
    
    MOST of the time, Jack?

    
    
    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...
    
    

re .46:

Doesn't work.  Try it.

    
    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.

 How about "will work for P_Name"

    
    gerald...
    
    ok...maybe i was thinking of your e-mail personal name...i know when i
    first got to dec, i couldn't figure out why my p_n kept coming out in
    caps when i typed it the way i wanted it to look like...and then
    someone told me to use quotes...
    
    
    

    "Big Robert is watching you..."

    	How about, "What are all of you still doing here?"
    
    	(Heh heh)
    

or..."Get back to work!"

 "Last one out, turn out the lights"

    
    
    
    
    Fix it however you want to
    

    
    "Ain't it a hoot to have a gold parachute?"

    How about  "Amanda Huggenkiss"?

"Pants"

Chris.

How about this : "Just because the company isn't well doesn't mean I have to suffer"

ME

    
    	That last word is "suffer", for those like me who are 132-column
    	impaired.
    

    re: "suffer"
    
    Oh, good... for a minute there, I thought it was some other word
    that starts with "su", e.g. "sue".

	I thought he was gonna talk about Ms. Deb getting SUgar in her coffee!
