This is an inside joke at the Horowitz Lab. Two of our steamed
alumni, Darren Leigh and Jonathan "Jono" Weintroub, had something of a
strange relationship. Darren (on the left) did all the system
administration (note the Sun workstation keyboard propped on his lap)
and was the archetypical Unix guru. Here he sits, Budda-like, in the
state of infinite repose which a sysadmin can reach only when he has
truly become one with the computer. Jono (on the right), probably
can't read his email or print some document or some other trivial
thing like that that users always pester their sysadmins about. He's
a bit flustered because his bound thesis is due at the registrar's
tomorrow and the one thing he absolutely doesn't need right now is the
computer throwing up roadblocks in his path. He emerges from the back
room to ask Darren if he can do something to help. Darren's repose is
only slightly perturbed because like all Unix gurus he instantly
understands what the real problem is and how to fix it. But his
characteristically unhelpful response was always the same: "Read the
manpage, Jono."
