Dang Geek Pride! (Still MH94 and 3901 after all these years..)
It's worse than hanging around Ham radio guys with 4 digit call signs...
.. Next we'll get into .. "I booted off of paper tape.." and then..
"I booted off of flip switches".. but I'm one of the few that have
strung ferrites on a loom.. Martha.. get me my cane..

an ASN for marketing purposes? And should this even be considered..
except as a tongue in cheek geek thing?
