Let me ditto that. Back in my ADA days I got to spend some VERY weird
hours explaining why I wanted to bring a C-64 onto our site. It seems
the battalion security officer had seen Wargames one to many times and
was convineced that I would start WWIII with it.
Did NOT belive that all I wanted to do was put our parts list on to
disk, so our PLL clerk could have a chance at getting both the paper
work AND his job done AND get some sleep.
