Is it just me, or do others here also think of bread() when writing
"bread" on a shopping list?
I've been using Unix since it first appeared in Australia, so I guess I'm
now permanently damaged :-)
Then again, during a late-night session at work getting a pair of Telebit
NetBlazers to work, $BOSS asked me to order a pizza for us, so I picked up
the phone and started dialling an IP address... And according to aus.net
(I think) I was not the only one to do that :-) Oh, and I got to stay
overnight in a nearby motel on his sixpence, because I was simply too
buggered to make the 70km drive back home...
