[Where, oh where has my bug eater gone ....]

Apparently, record companies are jumping on the computer bandwagon in
increasing numbers, as more and more rock bands are choosing names with
relevance to the field ... Have any of you heard of these bands?

	   Gen'a'sys                       Jefferson Mainframe

	   Programmers Without Hats        #ifdef Leopard

	   Silicon Zepplin                 The /

	   Gallium Arsenide Butterfly      The VT52's

	   The Goto Goto's                 Fleetwood Macro

	   VM/TV                           kmem at Work

These (mostly) new bands are replacing the older bands from the "Golden
Age" ie:

	   The Cards                        The Batch Boys

	   The Hollyriths                   The Bellphones

	   Blue Box Cult                    Grand Fork Railroad

The Movie Companies are getting in to the act too;

	   Jesus Christ Superuser           E*M*A*C*S

	   SUPERUSER II (and III)           wait $godot

	   My Dinner with Andriods          The Texas rm -r * Massacre

	   Altered State Machines           find / -name "Mr. Goodbar"

	   [*]wars - The Compiler Strikes Back

	   [*]trek - The Wrath of Console

Have you heard of any others?  (if you haven't heard of any of these,
ask your nearest UNIX(tm) Hacker(~tm)
