| 490.1 | Say what? | GLORY::WETHERINGTON | | Thu Sep 17 1987 15:02 | 22 |
| In all my experience with re-incarnation, in all my readings from
many different schools of thought, and in all my discussions with
people from dozens of different mystical backgrounds, I have never
heard of anything but an INDIVIDUAL SOUL undergoing reincarnation.
Never in my life have I heard of anything at all made by the hand
of man, that was of a nature to
1. Need to
2. Have the ability to
re-incarnate.
I do not believe that physical, inanimate creations could possibly
undergo re-incarnation, and if you understand re-incarnation, you
will understand that they would have no need to...DIGITAL as an
entity is simply a physical vehicle for the actions of the people
who are a part of it (and this particular person cites the existence
of this conference as one of many reasons he's happy to be here).

| Maybe the people responsible for DIGITAL had created something similar in
a past life. And although DIGITAL itself wasn't reincarnated directly,
it may have been created by people who were reincarnated.

| 490.3 | How about the use of some creative imagination? | CAMLOT::COFFMAN | Howard D. Coffman | Thu Sep 17 1987 16:10 | 5 |
| Thanks Dave.
The purpose of the note was to have some *fun* with a topic.
We don't seem to do alot of that in this file. :-)

In a past life Digital was really .... [press RETURN!]

time we're trying to get it right.

| What a frightening idea, that corporations are reincarnated! Does
this mean, that in future lives, I will be working with the same
turkeys, doing the same things, interacting with the same outside
groups? Alfred Hitchcock could have done wonders with something
like this.

| 490.13 | other times I can barely see... | GLORY::WETHERINGTON | | Mon Sep 21 1987 18:15 | 18 |
| Forgive me, folks, I seem to be breaking my own rules as fast as
I make them.
It may be a while before I can get myself off of defensive mode
after recent experiences...I was also afraid that perhaps someone
might be trying to get something started that could endanger this
conference, thus my overly aggresive reaction...again, I apologise,
it was unwarrented. I will leave the defense of this conference
to others who know more what's going on, and have been here since
the beginning.
I have noticed that this DEC office, at least, has more than it's
share of exceptionally bright, talented, special people...and I've
experienced the feeling that I almost felt like I know a couple
of them already, we immediately felt comfortable with each other
and seemed to already know each other's styles...dejavu???

... lately it occurred to me...
... What a long strange trip it's been..
I understand and welcome to the world of frustrated, intellectual,
opinioned, hi-tech learning.

| I can't begin to determine exactly what we might have been in the
past. . .but I have a gut feel for some of the characteristic
attributes: zealous, talented, and eager to be RIGHT.
From what I've read on re-incarnation, maybe we were #1 then,
that's why we're #2 now.
Did anyone happen to see The Boston Globe's sketch of KO in their
lead article on DECWORLD two weeks ago? Sort of Neptune-y, rising
from the sea. . .if a line drawing can connote power, this one did
(to me, at least).

| 490.16 | One that makes sense | SSDEVO::YOUNGER | This statement is false | Fri Sep 25 1987 12:19 | 2 |
| I'm sure of it now! We used to build Abucuses (Or is that Abici?).

| 490.17 | | WAGON::DONHAM | Born again! And again, and again... | Fri Sep 25 1987 17:25 | 8 |

Look, it's intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that,
in its former incarnation, DIGITAL was
ANALOG.

That would mean that KO is John Cambell reincarnated! I would never
have guessed!

. . .then again, maybe we just made sundials.

| 490.21 | Sundial? I dunno... | VIKING::HARDY | | Thu Oct 01 1987 23:31 | 5 |
| It was quite a clock. It was keyed to the station of the Pole Star,
which has a 26,000 year cycle.
