Blue Glue
|
|
|
|
n. [IBM; obs.] IBM's SNA (Systems Network Architecture), an incredibly
|
|
losing and bletcherous communications protocol once widely favored at
|
|
commercial shops that didn't know any better (like other proprietary
|
|
networking protocols, it became obsolete and effectively disappeared after
|
|
the Internet explosion c.1994). The official IBM definition is that which
|
|
binds blue boxes together. See fear and loathing. It may not be irrelevant
|
|
that Blue Glue is the trade name of a 3M product that is commonly used to
|
|
hold down the carpet squares to the removable panel floors common in
|
|
dinosaur pen s. A correspondent at U. Minn. reports that the CS department
|
|
there has about 80 bottles of the stuff hanging about, so they often refer
|
|
to any messy work to be done as using the blue glue.
