somebody should have told him about Microware's OS/9 (back in '80s)

this reminds me of a George Carlin joke:
	"Do you realize that somewhere in the world there exists a
	person who qualifies as the worst doctor?  If you took the
	time, by process of elimination you could actually determine
	the worst doctor in the world.  And the funny part is knowing
	that someone has an appointment to see him tomorrow."
