When I was a brand new programmer, our head programmer was one of these<br>
guys who could code a computer to do absolutely anything. When the<br>
PDP-11 screwed up and nobody could figure why, he was the guy who<br>
brought in the oscilloscope. Add 100 to my IQ and you'd get his.<br>
<br>
Every once in a while he'd use TECO. And he'd get it right the first<br>
time. He was my mentor and I learned several cubic miles of information<br>
and strategy and tactics from him, but when he talked about teaching me<br>
TECO, I whipped out the garlic, Holy Water, and a silver stake and<br>
mallet.<br>
