Ocelot Spleens Dec 2022 1:53pm, 23 Dec 2022 35,906 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens My first software job was at ICL, yes, ICL. I worked on the Officepower product. My favourite memory is of a developer called D, who once said 'there be Dragons in them printers'. He once introduced a bug that caused the printer to punt out a whole empty page after each carriage return, but with only a certain combination of how and sw, the configuration belonging to our company director :-). How we all laughed!
