Sagebrush posted:the whole "gary's wife told IBM to gently caress off" thing really smacks of angry grognard misogyny to me i mean if the biggest name in the industry shows up with an NDA that says they can make commercial use of anything you tell them, you sign it and then BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU TELL THEM. dorothy was stupid and the company lawyer who counseled her was also stupid.
