199103 – Felstead – The Parrot and the Frog

The title for this talk is some what misleading. The parrot is in fact a hand puppet and the frog is an oven glove. These are used to indicate which of the VAX computer backup tapes are the most current.

The daily activity of stuffing the parrot and the irregular activity of croaking the frog form a small, but important part, of the Independent Validation and Verification (N&V) task that AN will perform.
