Actually, you're probably thinking about the previous URL that was
posted. Taking a look at the URL I was refering toon
(http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/new89/satan.773.html), it says
it comes from "Linda Branagan--Convex doc. writer and Connie Dobbs
look-alike" Doing a quick search on the web for Linda Branagan, I
find her web page with her resume at http://www.well.com/~lgb/linda.html
which notes that she worked at Convex from January 1989 - August 1993.

So, the latest this story could be from is August 1993. Looking
at the URL, however, which says "new89", I would bet that it's
actually from 1989. It most definitely, however, does not
refer to Mac OS X. Instead, it refers to BSD.
