more like "was in the same department as" ... around the time I was
senior tech support at McAfee, one of the oldest Sun 3's in existence
(I swear!  a 4 digit serial number.  first digit was a 1.)  was the box
which Jim helped sysadmin, for "prevent the programmer types from
rebooting 'the internet' just 'cuz their ethernet cord sucks" values
of sysadmin.

By the time I was postmaster, that old beast had been long since retired
in favor of a freebsd box.
