Armstrong vs. Stroustrup

[Joe Armstrong]

  You're joking - it was great -  the best bit was you standing in the
hole - we could release the transcripts :-)

	(joe)    "Hello Mike" 
	(mike)   "Hello Joe"
	(joe)    "Hello Robert"
	(robert) "Hello Joe"

  (Joe) and  there we uuuurrr uuummm  are errrr -  back in conference,
I'll just press this button and see what happens ...

	(mike)        "Hello Joe"
	(joe)         "Hello Mike"
	(mike)        "Hello Robert"
	(robert)      "Hello Mike" 
	(joe)         "Hello Robert"
	(robert)      "Hello Joe"
	(mike)        "Hello Robert AND Joe"
	(Joe and Robert together, 
	with amazed voices) 	"Hello Mike"

  Camera cuts  to Mike standing in  hole grinning like  a Cheshire cat
"We've just seen an err, umm example of errr ummm, our language ...."

  We  actually  wrote  the  script  -  which is  why  we're  still  in
programming and not script writing :-)

 /Joe
