Used to question an unbelieved quote, as in Did you read that in
|
|
|
|
|
Datamation?. It used to publish something hackishly funny every once in a
|
|
|
|
|
while, like the original paper on COME FROM in 1973, and Ed Post's Real
|
|
|
|
|
Programmers Don't Use Pascal ten years later, but for a long time after that
|
|
|
|
|
it was much more exclusively suit -oriented and boring. Following a change
|
|
|
|
|
of editorship in 1994, Datamation briefly tried for more the technical
|
|
|
|
|
content and irreverent humor that marked its early days, but this did not
|
|
|
|
|
last.
