- The match between Stiegler and Xanadu was doubly unlikely; not only was Stiegler happily unemployed, but the Xanadu programmers did not seem to place high value on management personnel. As Stiegler tells it, the original plan during the first days at Autodesk was to get somebody with a good résumé and stick him in a closet until somebody from Autodesk came to visit, at which point the obedient manager could be trotted out to prove that the hackers were under control. This was hardly Stiegler's style.

* In Canada, is the only spelling given by the Gage Canadian Dictionary (1997 edition). * In the US, there are three major spellings of this word: , and (resume). All three are in common usage and all three are occasionally contested. The usual justification for each is usually as follows: ** (resume) is an acceptable spelling, because modern English does not usually have diacritic marks except when borrowing terms or as an optional spelling to indicate a breach of standard pronunciation rules. Compare (cafe), (emigre), (nee), and (fiance), all of which are commonly spelled with and without accent marks. The spelling resume is more likely to be found on the web due to the limits of ASCII character encoding and the US English keyboard. ** , where there is no etymological precedent for the accent. The acute accent over the first (e), on the other hand, serves no function in English. ** . * Certain other French words with two accented instead, which may affect the perception of the correctness of the two spellings of the term.Quotations
