} when i was interviewing at sco last week, they told me that their
} customer service line had received a call from a US Army dude who was
} calling from inside his M1 tank in the Saudi desert. apparently, SCO
} Unix runs on one of the computers in the tank. the customer service
} person pointed him to the SCO BBS system and he dialed it and downloaded
} the bug fix.
Wonder if they get those recorded "Free Hawaiian Vacation" calls?
