Who uses these long names unless they're being really formal?

	Version 6 = "vee-six"
	Version 7 = "vee-seven"
	System III = "sys-three"
	System V  = "sys-five" (sometimes even "sys-vee")
	System V Release 2 = "sys-five-ahrr-two" or "five-ahrr-two"
	4.1BSD = "four-point-one" or "four-one"     \
	4.2BSD = "four-point-two" or "four-two"     |- "bee-ess-dee" optional
	4.3BSD = "four-point-three" or "four-three" /
	Xenix = "zeeniks"
	IN/IX = "that losing IBM trash" ;-)
	UniPlus = "oh no! not *again*!" ;-) ;-)
