OSS is like the turtles. They slowly craw along, and the best eventually get
there. In the early days, folks would say "Apache who"? Oh yes, that's the
opening band for the Beatles. Postgresql? Is that what Goldilocks ate in
the three bears? And these are the same people who, when they first heard
the name Beatles, they said "call the bug exterminator." And when they
heard the name Rolling Stones, they say, "where's the avalanche?"
