Among people under 40, the reaction was swift and stark compared to those who generally didn't "go out to movies" anymore (older workers). I had to adopt two very different personas to continue relating to them all (on top of being ready to be quizzed down to my shorts at least three times a day by the really old brass, like a former systems manager of a nuclear lab and an architect of the Unix memory manager who were generally convinced they were the subject of an ongoing joke involving hidden cameras and an unauthorized set of [the 30 volume VAX/VMS] documentation somewhere). Bear in mind that nobody at work was under 23 (in an era when, by 23, many people were married and having their first child) and I was still young enough to be in high school, but out of college, wearing a monkey suit and riding the bus from my apartment to work everyday at a computer company...Unlike Apple and Microsoft, who had lots of young people with talent but no formal training or experience, I had no real age peers at work until 2000, just as the NASDAQ crashed.)
<p><pre><code> > If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well.

That made me chuckle. I bought my first AMD processor a month ago so I guess I'm a real hacker now.
