Enjoy! -Ed. I've Built A Better Model Than The One At Data General [Lyrics: Heironymous Anonymous, Music: Arthur Sullivan] I've built a better model that the one at Data General, For databases vegetable, animal and mineral, My OS handles CPUs with multiplexed duality; My PL/1 compiler shows impressive functionality. My storage system's hotter than magnetic core polarity, You never have to bother checking out a bit for parity; There isn't any reason to install non-static floor matting; My disk drive has capacity for variable format-formatting. His disk drive has capacity for variable formatting, His disk drive has capacity for variable formatting, His disk drive has capacity for variable format-formatting. I feel compelled to mention what I know is a gloating point: There;s lots of room in memory for variables floating-point, Which shows for input vegetable, animal and mineral I've built a better model than the one a Data General. Which shows for input vegetable, animal and mineral He's built a better model than the one at Data General. The IBM new home computer's nothing more than germinal; At Prime they still have trouble with an interactive terminal; While Tandy's done a lousy job with operations Boolean At Wang the byte capacity's too small to fit a coolie in. Intel's finances are something of the trouble sort; The Timex-Sinclair crashes when you implement a bubble sort. All DEC investors soon will find they haven't spent their money well; And need I even mention Nixdorf, Univac or Honeywell? And need he even mention Nixdorf, Univac or Honeywell? And need he even mention Nixdorf, Univac or Honeywell? And need he even mention Nixdorf, Univac or Honey-Honeywell? By striving to eliminate all source code that's repetitive I've brought my benchmark standings to results that are competitive. In short, for input vegetable, animal and mineral I've built a better model that the one at Data General. In short, for input vegetable, animal and mineral He's built a better model than the one at Data General. In fact when I've a floppy of maximum diameter, When I can call a subroutine of infinite parameter, When I can point to registers and keep their current map around, And when I can preven the need for mystifying wraparound, When I can update record blocks with minimum of suffering, And when I can afford to use a hundred K for buffering, When I've performed a matrix sort and tested the addition reate, You'll marvel at the speed of my asynchronous transmission rate. You'll marvel at the speed of my asynchronous transmission rate. You'll marvel at the speed of my asynchronous transmission rate. You'll marvel at the speed of my asynchronous transmission-mission rate. Though all my better programs that self-reference recursively Have only been obtained through expert spying, done subversively, But still for input vegetable, animal and mineral, I've built a better model than the one at Data General. But still for input vegetable, animal and mineral, I've built a better model than the one at Data General.
