welcome datacomp

[James Kibo Parry]

I just found out that someone once manufactured a keyboard which would
occasionally transmit the key sequence "welcome datacomp" to the computer
after a period of inactivity. (I will wager nobody still sells these.) So I
went to Altavista to see who was typing in stuff with said keyboard:

>This is a rich and rewarding book, and a must-have for the
>bookshelf of all who seriously study Pure Land Buddhism. The
>problems that I had with it were mainly stylistic: there
>are too many sentences that elide into uncredited quotations,
>and the final copy could have been better proofread (there are
>just enough misspellings to be distracting, and the mysterious
>phrase "welcome datacomp" appears on page 273). Pas draws many
>comparisons with Christian practice that are not always to the
>point and divert attention away from the main argument. However,
>such instances are quite rare, and I wholeheartedly recommend
>this book for graduate students and scholars.

The keyboard in question was written up on VIRUS-L and comp.risks
two years ago.
