(Tune of `I am the very model of a modern major general’)
I`ve built a better model than the one at Data General
For databases vegetable, animal, and mineral
My OS handles CPU’s with multiplex duality
My PL1 compiler shows impressive functionality
My storage system’s better than magnetic core polarity
You needn’t even bother checking out a bit for parity
There isn’t any reason to install nonstatic floormating
My diskdrive has capacity for variable formating
(Chorus)
His diskdrive has capacity for variable formating
His diskdrive has capacity for variable formating
His diskdrive has capacity for variable format-formating
I feel compelled to mention what I know to be a gloating point
There’s lots of space in memory for variables floating point
Which shows for input vegetable, animal and mineral
I’ve built a better model than the one at Data General
(Chorus)
Which shows for input vegetable, animal and mineral
He’s built a better model than the one at Data General
The IBM’s new homecomputer’s nothing more than germinal
At Prime they still have trouble with an interactive terminal
While Tandy’s done a rotten job with operations boolean
At Wang the byte capacity’s to small to fit a koolie in.
Now Intel company’s finances are somthing of the troublesort
The Apple 2-C crashes when you implement a bubblesort
All Dec investors soon will fine they haven’t spend there money well
And need I even mention Next or Unysis or Honeywell
(Chorus)
And need he even mention Next or Unysis or Honeywell
And need he even mention Next or Unysis or Honeywell
And need he even mention Next or Unysis or Honey-Honeywell
By striving to eliminate all source code that’s repetitive
I»ve brought my benchmark standings to results that are competitive
In short for input vegetable, animal and mineral
I’ve built a better model than the one at Data General
(Chorus)
In short for input vegetable, animal and mineral
He’s built a better model than the one at Data General
In fact when I’ve a Winchester of minimum diameter
When I can call a subroutine of infinite parameter
When I can point to registers and keep there current map around
And when I can prevent the need for mystifying wraparound
When I can update record blocks with minimum of suffering
And when I can afford to use 100K for buffering
When I’ve performed a matrix sort and tested the addition rate
You’ll marvel at the speed of my asynchronous transmission rate
(Chours)
You’ll marvel at the speed of his asynchronous transmission rate
You’ll marvel at the speed of his asynchronous transmission rate
You’ll marvel at the speed of his asynchronous transmission-mission rate
Though all my better programs that self reference recursively
Have only been obtained through experts spying done subversively
But still for input vegetable, animal and mineral
I’ve built a better model than the one at Data General
(Chorus)
But still for input vegetable, animal and mineral
He’s built a better model than the one at Data General
