A few years ago I was lying in the CCU listening to my physician’s conversation with the nurse. He wanted to look at the reports of my blood tests. The nurse informed him that he would have to call the lab because the computer system was down for an OS update. I later told the nurse that Burroughs had developed an operating system which didn’t need to be shut down for an update–in the 1960s. I don’t think the message got through to the right people.
