business programs by looking at the least number of lines of code.

My Three Suns - Neighbors wonder why Steve Douglas keeps three UNIX
based work-stations in a suburban neighborhood.

incomprehensible manner from companies he's purchased. Studio
guests grudingly pay ever higher prices for his creations.

Leave it to Spindler - The Spindler tries to earn money by selling
apples but finds he can't sell them for as much as he paid for
them; tries to make it up in volume. Ward, June and the Board of

millions creating "Norton's Utilities". [A new rival of the real
Norton Utilities has made use of this idea in recent magazine
ads.]

caller, but Granny heaves the family VAX into the cement pond.

256K RAM chips.

selections from various IBM documentation.
