I remember the strap line for the original ads. for AIX. It was
something like "we've added a 1000000 lines of code to make
Unix better".

Clearly a misunderstanding of what fat farms are for.

this is a bit off topic, but i ran into these two IBM suit wearing type in a
paris
the other night in a bar called 'barfly' (av george v, just off the champs
elysees).
somehow, during the second whisky sour, i got talking to them.  unix was
mentioned
and one of them claimed that it was written by IBM.  needless to say, they
didn't
live very long :-)
