While searching for CCW command codes (x'08' actually) I ran across
this page of a computer science professor at Northern Illinois
University. It seems they are learning some serious mainframe.
I really need to get back to SHARE, it's been years since I've helped Dr.
Rannie carry the paddles. Reading the syllabus got me wondering how I would
have done as a student in his courses ;-)

I wouldn't call them ordinary, but they certainly are real paddles. They are
a nice addition to the décor (and weaponry) in my office, especially in the
very nice custom box that John Eells hand-crafted for us. If anyone wants

To understand what they represent, you need to be familiar with the
(American?) expression, Up the creek without a paddle, along with some
history that I'll leave to the real old-timers

At Share in Austin, Dr. Rannie will present session 3109, A SHARE'd History of
