I just heard a story that made my day. Here it is repeated for your
collective mirth or horror, depending upon your point of view:

A gentleman called this morning with a question about our System 83/80
which reflected some ignorance:

	"We're running one of your programs here, and,
	is it written in C or UNIX?"

Our customer service dept. then duly explained the difference between
C (a programming language) and UNIX (an operating system). The Funny
or Horrifying part is that this gentleman works for AT&T Bell Labs.
