[W/K] :: Datamation

  Datamation /day`t*-may'sh*n/ n. A magazine that many hackers assume all
     suits read. Used to question an unbelieved quote, as in "Did you read
     that in `Datamation?'" (But see below; this slur may be dated by the
     time you read this.) It used to publish something hackishly funny every
     once in a while, like the original paper on COME FROM in 1973, and Ed
     Post's "Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal" ten years later, but for a
     long time after that it was much more exclusively suit-oriented and
     boring. Following a change of editorship in 1994, Datamation is trying
     for more of the technical content and irreverent humor that marked its
     early days.
  
     Datamation now has a WWW page at `http://www.datamation.com' worth
     visiting for its selection of computer humor, including "Real
     Programmers Don't Use Pascal" and the `Bastard Operator From Hell'
     stories by Simon Travaglia (see BOFH).
