More "crispy display" ranting......


Jeff W
 

I came across this 7904 earlier today on the 'bay:


ViewItem&item=3801633404&category=45005

Hmm, looks like an OK deal if it worked, as implied. But then as I
read thru the text, I came across this statement:

"Powers up with a crisp disp., no modules to test the unit.
Guaranteed to power up."

Huh? sez me. Crisp Display? Anyone that knows anything about 7K
mainframes knows that without plugins, you have NO display, let alone
a "nice crisp display".

So since he has no modules, how does he know it has a "crisp display"?

Enquiring minds need to know!

In DC it's called "word smithing", elsewhere it's not
referred to so kindly. Some of these guys are good, others
have minimal comprehension of the "Kings English".
