Dave Horsfall's comment about AIX made me think.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0The= joker in me has
=C2=A0always been impressed by how marketing people 'missed' the ob= vious
pronunciations that would lead to serious

jokes.
Some of the more memorable ones from the UNIX world that I knew: AIX -><= br> "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 n= ever 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.
