Greg,
  Could you be referring to the "Salmon Papers" put out the HPRC back in the
late 1980's?  I seem to recall these being created by the Network support
team...sort of the old green Application Notes, except specifically for
networks...

X-no-Archive:yes
I had asked Lars off list what "think pink" meant. Lars gave his permission
to return this on list, for those of you who would prefer your off-topic
materials in a lighter vein.

A web search for "think pink" turned up two fiberglass companies, one down
under, references to a Pink Floyd album cover, and various individuals using
it loosely. Perhaps it can mean anything you want.

Lars,

With your permission, I would like to reply to this back on list as
off-topic. I'm sure others can help fill in the meanings and origin of this
phrase.

I had assumed that this had something to do with an MPE artifact that
somewhat predated my experience. I remember some HP manuals with a pink or
salmon color, so I had thought that maybe this meant "think MPE" or "think
by the book".

Greg,

> What does "think pink" mean?

Ooops. I was under the impression that it means something in
the line of "just brainstorming wild ideas, not yet reached a state
of qualifying or checking/evaluating them" -- however, now that
you ask, I am no longer sure... maybe my non-native English did
fool me?

Lars.
