Back in my day being directly attached to the Chairman simply meant
that one's Revolutionary credentials were impeccable and one made love
to one's Little Red Book at night. :-)
A friend of mine at Netscape who used to compile a weekly 'Microsoft
and IBM Watch' newsletter was promoted to be the personal henchman of
the Chairman (Jim Barksdale). This friend of mine had a sense of
humour. He changed his .sig to say that his title was 'Waylon
Smithers'[1].
