Umm, way back in an Austrian school, about 1995...terminals for a
BS2000 (a sinix(unix-)clone from Siemens iirc) mainframe...20 pupils
for their first experience with unix...teacher tells "<blah> this, then
<blah> that, then <blah>" - pupil "can´t we just pipe this to grep
and..." - teacher "do as your told, you don´t have to understand
anything, thats not why you´re here"
</mode>
and yes, there were capital letters, only, then.
