There was book in the early 80s called "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche", BTW.
As well, TRS-80's from Radio Shack were often called "TRASH-80s" to disparage them.
"As all Real Programmers know, the only useful data structure is the Array."
As someone trying to learn APL this is hilarious and apt!
A proud moment in tech support for me (akin to the telephone and front panel switches story) was walking a non-technical user through using vi to edit a file, over the phone.
