Tne new Omni has an article about Computer Graffiti.  Although the author
isn't very good about explaining (or understanding?) computer in-jokes
beyond the Gee-Whiz level, the article is quite interesting.  "Bell Lab's"
(sic) fortune cookie program is mentioned at length, as is the "Jargon
File" compiled at the various AI labs.

Which brings me to the point:  Some time ago Geoff Goodfellow had an
on-line copy of the vocabulary file.  This file has long since been
archived, but a current copy of it must exist somewhere.  Is there anybody
(besides me) that would like to see it?  If we can work up a some interest,
it might be possible to make it available again.  One of my regrets when I
moved to this job was that my electronic copy was clobbered.....

How about it, troops?
