I *love* it.  At last a chance for revenge.  Make sure all the management
suits hear the above when they're considering going for OSF/1.  After all,
didn't SUN do the same with SUNOS and Solaris ?  And as for AIX, you can
always scare them off by demonstrating the

	$ RLOGIN aix-node /USER="-froot"

command (why do you think the AIX windowing system is called "AIX and Panes"?).

Much better to stick with a *real* operating system  ;-)
