He coined the term --- de-crapification
Just prior to his leaving, we had our little college ski group lunch
gathering (4 guys)
with him presenting us each with a token from our past as part of his
de-crapification.
Some were FORTRAN puch cards, from our CS days,
some were check/receipts from our skiiing in Austria,
some were photos from frat parties - with fuzzy hair and long sideburns.
When I was in college you could spot a nerd because he had a pocket
protector and a rectangular box of punch cards under one arm. Pocket
calculators came out later, cost around $400.00 and had nerds drooling
over them. I was out of college when I saw my first HP calculator but I
still had boxes of punch cards. ^_^
Punch cards were for the CS weenies. ;-) The real nerds had
slip-stick scabbards hanging from their belts (I carried mine with my
books). Over my senior year, the slip-sticks were being replaced by
calculators (and holsters for scabbards ;-). I bought an HP, and yes,
it was $400 (about 10-weeks gross pay).
Oh I had a slide rule too. It was a K&E as I remember and I wish I still
had it. ^_^
