I bet there are least a few commercial environments which don't
consider their unix installations to be mistakes.

I "secretly" believe Bob to be a creation of a committee whose purpose
is to liven up (generate?) net traffic.  Probably a conspiracy of long-
distance carriers.  No single person could come up with so *many* tortured
statements scattered in so *many* places throught the net.  Another
explanation would be that he is real, but an academic with no real experience.
My apologies to the many thoughtful academics.  Some of my best friends are
academics.  My best academic friend says his goal is to never have to work
a day in his life.  I'm just envious.
