    Of course, since this is DEC, we'd have to use a 3-letter
    abbreviation.   "Digital Opportunity Assistance" squishes
    down quite nicely...

    I don't think I'd want to be involved in something like DOA (as in
    "Dead On Arrival" .... 8^)

1873.4Reminds me of ...ALOS01::MULLERFred MullerWed Apr 29 1992 12:1511
    of a big blue button I had made up about five years ago: "I've been
    DEC'd".  It was at the time of the announcement of the IBM "VAX Killer"
    CPU.  "Digital Review", I think, used the term at term like it.
    
    Gave it to some customers who thought it was neat.  There are still some
    around.  When I gave it to the NYS Workman's Comp folks they said, gee,
    DECEASED?  That is what the acronym meant in their files.  Should I get
    the button's going again?  Nah, there is a silver lining in every
    cloud.

    I think the base note describes quite well Digital's Opportunity
    Assisstance...
