OFF TOPIC: This doesn't relate directly to AXC, but it does relate to recent events here on the board. In an effort to understand why people occasionally get irritable with one another, it's nice to examine the social roots of human behavior. Just trying to help keep the peace. Hope this helps..........al A Little history lesson for you...History of Giving the Finger: Giving the Finger: Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous weapon was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew"). Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French,saying, "See, we can still pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!" Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute are mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter. It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used w/ the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird". And yew thought yew knew everything!

Ampex Joins Legato Enterprise Solutions Partner Program EDITOR CONTACT: Jeffrey Swartz DALY-SWARTZ PR (714) 361-6888 jeff_swartz@prodigy.com REDWOOD ALTO, CA, MARCH 10, 1997--Ampex Corporation announced today that it has been chosen to participate in Legato Systems, Inc.'s Enterprise Solutions Partner (ESP) Program -- joining a select group of partners reselling industry-leading storage management solutions. As a Legato ESP, Ampex will be positioned to deliver fully-integrated storage solutions that combine high performance DST. tape systems with NetWorker enterprise storage management applications.

One Ampex DST drive can backup more than 50 GB per hour and store up to 330 GB on a single cartridge. DST automated cartridge libraries can access files in less than 25 seconds on average, and are well-suited for storing multimedia objects which require large file sizes and high bandwidth. NetWorker is an easy to use, highly scalable family of enterprise storage management applications for protecting mission critical data by providing backup and recovery, archive and retrieval and file migration (HSM) for networks of all sizes. DST tape drives and ACLs are supported under Legato Systems NetWorker 4.2.5 enterprise storage management for UNIX on Sun Solaris 2.4, 2.5.
