SCOwfull!! (from SCO+awfull, also {S}CowFool ;-)
But that gives me a solid argument to bring to my financial management
in order to convince them to buy me a *real thing* (like ESIX or DELL
UNIX or Mach) to put on my desktop instead of the well-known patchwork
named SCO ODT: if they have dropped "Professional" out of the market
because of its look-and-feel resemblance with lotus 1-2-3, they can drop
xenix because of the IBM one or ODT because of the well-known AT&T patent.
