  The first time the term "System 7 studly" was used at the Developers'
Conference in May there was quite a bit of laughter.  Who knows how long
Apple has been using it internally, under nondisclosure and what not. :-)

  Anyway, soon it will be a trademark and will only be used by Apple
employees in the promotion of Apple software, so it won't be too much a
problem anymore.

  Sort of like "Moof!"
