So yes, he did get both, but it did require me to pull one last strand of RS232 a week before we had to do it all again for the 10Base-T, and my manager was not amused at how I'd multiplied the work for myself; and especially wasn't stunned by my smart-ass quip that, "if only he'd demo'ed the PC thing to Mr. Nasty Exec in the first place, things would've gone smoo .. oh, okay, I'll be on my way to pull that last strand, then .." Yeah, wasn't really a great idea, it was only a week later that I saw that old Hazeltine, forlorn once again, sitting on the cart to be carried away.. oh how I wish I'd kept a few of those, myself ..
