Not as bad as one of the other commissioners who kept staring at me the
whole time I was talking about Unix until the District Librarian said that
Unix is an operating system.  After the meeting she confided in me that
she honestly thought I was talking about using eunichs to run the
library's computers.  I had this image of a bunch of men singing soprano
as they worked the library computers for the staff.
