[SunRescue] Rant on industry employment practices, was RE: 16MB memory module for Voyager

I kept the Word perfect manual since it was in a nice binder, and it had
tha ascii codes that I needed to type accented characters.  Those were
much easier to remember than the Word "Ctrl+Shift+...+letter"
combinations.  I also kept a DOS 5.0 manual because it actually was a
manual, not a small pamphlet that said "Type C:\> help xxx".  It was
useful because in Win9x they got rid of the help command, so it was the
only place I could look to find the more arcane DOS commands I needed
every so often (in setting up things like DOOM :).
