From Control's resident humorist, Joe Kaulfersch:
Hi Walt,
Back in 1987 when I worked for Foxboro we introduces the new I/A System. It operated on the UNIX platform. UNIX was very secure and relatively bulletproof platform.plus it was open in theory. Very difficult to hack. I can't remember who sang this parody for sure. (Mark Davidson?) I had recorded this on my cassette recorder (old school) from one of the sales meetings at night. Amazing what you find when you go through some of your old junk. I thought it was funny especially looking back into history.

NEW LYRICS TO BEATLES SONG - 'Unix Man (Nowhere Man)'
He's a real UNIX man
Sitting in his UNIX LAN
Making all his UNIX plans
For nobody.
Knows the blocksize from du(1)
Cares not where /dev/null goes to
Isn't he a bit like you
and me?
UNIX man, please listen(2)
My lpd(8) is missin'
UNIX man,
The wo-o-o-o-orld is at(1) your command.
He's as wise as he can be
Uses lex and yacc and C
UNIX Man, can you help me At all?
UNIX Man, don't worry
Test with time(1), don't hurry
UNIX Man
The new kernel boots, just like you had planned.
He's a real UNIX Man
Sitting in his UNIX LAN
Making all his UNIX plans for nobody. . .
Making all his UNIX plans for nobody. . .
