Uaaahhh, it is also frustrating to name the OS you use at all. I mostly say
BSD compatible TCP stack. Uah, and if they know Amiga, they never came
across the old 2.x release, I fear. On some #Linux chan I met someone who
had an Amiga3000, he did not touch for _years_ and was surprised, that
"some people still use it". Frustrating.

This reminds me: They (CompuserveOffice) gave me an alternate number as well.
Sh*t, where is it, I totally forgot.
