Today, as I walked out of work at Chandler Microchip, I saw 
a cute, degrading -somewhat accurate- posting on the side of 
a cubicle, referring to Win95.  On the bookshelf inside , I 
saw: The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup; The 
Standard C Library by Plauger and the O'Reilly books on Lex 
and Yacc and RCS and SCCS.  On the desk inside was a computer 
booting up.  On the right side of the console was a column 
of green [OK]'s.  I exclaimed, "That's Red Hat!!". The guy 
across the hall stood up and came over to talk.  Shortly, 
the told me that they wrote compilers for the Microchip "PIC" 
processors and were planning to make the source code Open 
Source.  He will be contacting Eric Raymond.  He is also 
interested in PLUG.  We didn't have much time to talk, but 
will in the future.
