here's a little rap number written by an anonymous DEC field service
rep.  (in the original desperado-mail, he whines the usual stuff
about rap not being music-or-whatever.  and then he writes the following.)


    (Bass beat)
    Yo! Listen up, if you're fixin' RA90's
    Here's the Digital maintenence strategy
    Examine and analyze VAXsim PLUS
    And make sure everything's cool on the Bus
    If you think you're RA90's Ailing
    Check the error log to see what's failing.
    Read the documentation, Don't be a fool
    Correlate the symptoms to an FRU.

    I'm the baddest FE there ever was
    I fix RA90's like they was hit with scuds
    Don't try to out fox me, it's no use
    I always find the right FRU's
    I'm a killer at the terminal, I've got plenty
    I'll knock you down like a VT220.
            
    I'm a VAX 9000, you're a PDP11
    All my customers think they're in heaven.
    All my RA90's pass diagnostics.
    Any other FE is downright caustic.
    So don't you dis me like some high all mighty
    Cuz I know how to fix my RA... I said my RA... I said my RA90's
    
    (Insert record scratchings here...)
    
    Hey, any record execs out there?  I didn't think I'd get that far!
    Maybe I have star potential!
