I found it amusing when an IBM reseller was showing off a NC 2200 to
me, and I ran the `advanced diagnostics' (?) mode (i.e, a shell :-),
ran `uname -a` and saw ``NetBSD 1.3I in the output''. What freaked him
more was when I ran `ftp about:ftp` and pointed at the result and said
- ``That's me'' :-)

(sorry, pathetic attempt at ego boost ;-)
