+ UNIX TODAY! SPEAKS (AGAIN)
+ The Open Software Foundation is, for better or worse, now part of the UNIX
+ landscape.  But in all the hoopla surrounding its birth, the seven
+ parents forgot one essential: a name.  OSF will produce a new operating
+ system based on IBM's AIX, but the founders forgot to tell us what they 
+ plan to call the result of their efforts.

What if... OSF named their operating system "U/OS"  when you say it 
fast enough, it expresses the flavor of Sun/AT&T: 'you owe us' :-)
