So here I am sitting in front of my totally high tech Lisp
machine, filling out this month's time sheet.  I have to write
"8" in every slot except the ones representing weekends and
holidays.  The time sheet isn't month-specific, so I have to
figure out where the weekends fell.  So I want to do

 (time:print-universal-date (time:parse-universal-time "1 mar 90"))

to find out what day the first was; except I don't remember the 
name of time:print-universal-date, so I edit the definition of
time:print-universal-time since I know they're in the same file.
Great, I cross out all the weekends, and fill the rest with 8's.

Then I want a total.  So I count the number of 8's, hit Break, and
type (* 8 22); it gives me 260; I write it down.

Only by a chance glance at last month's time sheet did I notice that
that was almost twice as high as it should have been.  The source
file for the time functions was in base 8.  260(8) = 176(10).

The damn thing costs 40k and it doesn't know how to add.

If our hearts are pure, we can eradicate octal in our time!!
