IT News from 50 years ago

I got very few comments from my previous post by this title. I’m not sure if I put it behind too big a cut or what.

Here it is...

and a quick quote:

The central services division would like to announce that their “general information search” team has selected a new product for use within this company. The Encyclopedia Altavistica’s that were placed in each person’s office 5 years ago are out of date. Between Nov 1 and Nov 20 each office will be visited and their encyclopedia will be replaced with the new Encyclopedia Yahoolia. It has been rumored that some people are uncomfortable with the change and wish to retain their old generation information delivery system. Sadly, consistency at this company is important and anyone found retaining their old, incompatible system will be reprimanded.

It was cute, and insightful, but I wasn't sure what to say other than, "you make a good point." Which is usually my comment to most things you write. . .
