    Earnest Hemmingway once supposedly [wikipedia.org] wrote a short story in only 6 words.

    It apparently takes NCommaner 7.

    Xenix 386 is still rebooting

    About 5 words depending how you count it. Its an interesting series. If I was taking bets I'd bet he thought he'd get eth0 up and running and make a triumphant post to SN from inside Xenix, but here we are, xenix-less once again. Or perhaps he took the red pill and found out what we call "the real world" is actually a simulation written in COBOL inside MVS/360 on a Hercules emulator and he didn't take it well.

    Hemmingway... short story in only 6 words... NCommaner 7.

    Hemingway's [alleged] story is the more interesting [google.com] of the two, in this reviewer's opinion.

    So often your mod points go to waste... Why not mod this post up right now and help stop that trend.
