I find this a bit on the hilarious side.  I can only surmise what other
organizations/companies whose name start with 'X' are going through. 
Will this force the UNIX community to rename 'X Window System' (or X11R6
or X or whatever the individual calls it -- I call it X for simplicity :)
) to something that would eliminate confusion? :)

You know you've been using UNIX enough when:
* You remember UNIX commands faster than those for DOS.
* You try to configure Win95 the same way you try to configure your X
window manager.
* Someone asks you what wordproc you use and you reply 'vi' (or your
favorite text editor).
* You type 'ls -a' instead of 'dir /w' in DOS.
