i told unix jokes... and some body got them.) maybe thay can make the explaination understandable to a computer neophyte.
well sure...
on second thought.
I once sat "over the wall" from a unix geek and he had the temerity to make fun of me for being a VAX geek, to wit:
There once was a system called VMS
Of cycles by no means abstemious.
It's chock-full of hacks
And runs on a VAX
And makes my poor stomach all squeamious.
to which I perforce responded:
an unfriendly system is hp-ux*
'tis obscurantism deluxe
and speaking of unix
(remindful of runics)
this OS unequivocally sux
...but I digress.
*the HP version of unix, fondly pronounced h-pux, or more formally, hockey pucks
