Datamation

/day"t*-may"sh*n/ A magazine that many hackers assume all

suits read. Used to question an unbelieved quote, as in

"Did you read that in "Datamation?"" 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 it has

since become much more exclusively suit-oriented and boring.
