OT - So it's Friday <G>

I have been meaning to post this OFF-TOPIC note for a few ws now.

I know this is an international forum and I know that car companies use
different names for the same models and offer different models in different
countries.  HOWEVER, I am amused (especially with my limited vision so I jus
t
HEAR rather than read) every time I hear the

"Customize your Cobalt"

ads.   For those countries without this car model, see:

http://www.chevrolet.com/cobalt/

P.S.  The very first program that I wrote (hand-wrote and sent down the
"keypunch" department <G> ) I managed to include in a comment, the spelling:

"COBAL"

(no "T" - but still funny as I look back on it).

I still get double-takes when I use the term "Unix" in mixed-company
conversation.  Some people have a very strange idea of what I do for a
living.
