My old boss had spent some time writing software packages for this particular program. The software usually came as source code and was executed through an interpreter. He started a small business selling his custom software. One day at a scientific meeting, he noticed another company was showing the software with *remarkably* similar functionality as his own.
He wandered over to watch the demo and the longer he watched, the more familiar it looked. Eventually, when the sales gerbil had gathered a good crowd, he asked in a rather loud voice,
"Are you using my copyrighted copy for this?" "Of course not!" the sales gerbil replied.
"So, what happens if you press [key combination]?"
"Nothing."
"Well, humor me. Do it for me."
"Ok, sir, but I can assure it you does . . ." and upon pressing the keys . . . the large screen popped up my boss' copyright notice. It was widely accepted as the biggest laugh of the show. |
