C is _very_ user friendly. It is just rather ... "selective"
about who its friends are.

LOL! That's gone into my quotes file (with attribution).

I originally heard it as "Unix is user friendly. It is just
choosy about who are its friends."

Sorry, I'm not going back to edit my file again - you are credited (-:!
(It's the spirit of the humour, anyway, not what language/whatever is
referred to. [Wasn't UNIX mostly written in C anyway?])

Yep.

As we also said about C, it wasn't so much "released" as
"escaped". Same was said about RPG (Report Program Generator) from
IBM.
