A POX on 6 character variable names!!!!!!!!!!

They are among the most abominable creatures ever to grace a programming
language.

In a related subject: What machines can't support more than 6 character
variables??  Outdated software maybe, but I can't see what the underlying
machine has to do with it...  Yes, I know you can fit 10 chars in a CYBER
word, and that makes it handy, but you can still use longer strings fairly
easily.
