	May I note that our system (admittedly not competitive with vaxen:  it
is a TRS-80 model 16 running Xenix) has been up for about a month without a
crash?  The reason it went down then, after 2 months of faithful service is 
that the hard disk overheated (the system's owner was out of town and didn't
expect the heat wave we had, left the air conditioner on low).  It's also easy
to start up.  Press reset, the system comes up singleuser and runs the startup
script, which waits for the root password or exits to multiuser on a blank
line, runs fsck (is it -y?  The thing assumes "y" to all questions), and goes
multiuser.  5 minutes, tops, and all the knowledge you need is that of how to
press the ENTER key on the console.  Can VMS do that?  How many PDP-11s or
VAX-11s can be outperformed by a micro?

	Why drag up the weird-command-name issue?  Even *we* have csh! :-)
