I have remained silent for too long, I can't stand it any more,

How about Reality, where all the binaries are one shared library, and 
there is NO static linking. WE could support 64 users in 1 meg of memory, 
nyah nyah nyah... (Until our application programmers found structured
methodologies)

And Reality's zero date is before unix's zero date.
