Asking for trouble

Keith Appleyard at Mistral Internet remembers the old days when we, and by ‘we’ we mean ‘you’, used to look at a listing to try to solve technical problems.
‘I’ll never forget what I found when working through the night for 10 hours on a problem in the late 1980s and thought I’d found the root cause,’ he recalls, all misty-eyed.
‘As I turned the page of the program listing I found the comment: “Oh goodness gracious me, if you’re looking in here you’re in big trouble”.’
