The joker in me has always been impressed by how marketing people 'missed' the obvious pronunciations that would lead to serious jokes. Some of the more memorable ones from the UNIX world that I knew: AIX -> "aches", CRDS -> "cruds", HP-UX -> HP "yucks" and "hockey pucks" and my favorite: RHEL -> "our hell" I bet there are more and others I did know/consider ;-) That said, I did hear a pro-VMS person in ZKO (*i.e.* a DECie) once tried refered to "DEC Ultrix" as Dirty Tricks, but I never heard that one take off/be repeated outside of ZKO. For history we probably should try to collect them, although I fear the context of the joke in the future may be lost. Clem =E1=90=A7
