Does anyone have acopy in English?





http://www.acopy.be/index2.htm

Of course, the above link is to the German Acopy, but here is a link
explaining the use of Acopy, and this page is in English.

This link bears the IBM logo. From what I understand, IBM is going
aggressively gay.

In light of this, any suggestions for the true meaning of IBM?

International Bum Massagers? Instigated Bowel Movements?

To all, Post your suggestions about the restructured IBM's possible new
name.

Movie trivia. By the by, in the movies 2001 and 2010, the computer HAL
was actually indirectly named after IBM. You see, if you use one letter
after each letter in HAL's name, you get IBM.

H=I
A=B
L=M


Legend also has it that IBM refused to allow their name to be associated
with the *broken* computer in the movie. Nonetheless, it would appear
less credible (than it already was) to speak to a machine using its
given name if that name were 'IBM' -- i.e. the name lacks any sense of
person.
