I have a sticker in the back window of my car (actually a Toyota 4x4 with a shell) from my ISP. They're pretty much a bunch of tech- heads stuck (by their own choice) here behind the "Zion Curtain." Some of the locals don't take to kindly to my window sticker, which reads "God uses UNIX." My fellow churchmembers don't seem to mind. ;^) Tangential story: the first two UNIX systems back at dear old Clyde/Raxco/Axent, which was chock full of BYU graduates, were named Ebed and Melech. Two netdollars to the first contributor who say why they were given such odd names. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
