>From Data Communications magazine, October '81, Unix: An operating system
that means business.  A quote from Fred Jenkins, president of the IBM
virtual memory (VM) operating-systems users group. Indented text is
direct from the article.

       As a worst case, Jenkins compares VM's command EDIT, meaning
       to edit a file, with Unix's command NROFF for the same function.
       "It just makes the system more difficult to use," he says.

For similar gems see the article.
