The phrase I remember from my Wang days (remember that $3 billion mom-and-pop 
operation?) was:  OS/2 for the PS/2:  half an operating system for half a 
computer. ;-) 

Another phrase I coined for a past consulting project was:  "A subversive plot 
to introduce Linux into high levels of the US Government".  I recall a Bill 
Clinton photo smiling down on me as I entered the lobby each morning for work. 
 (Another mini generational gap, perhaps today's kids can still remember the 
Clinton days though for us old-timers the Bush-43 era's felt like an 
eternity...)  Well this week I ran into a guy who now works on that same 
project, from which I ran away screaming after only three months, and he 
confirmed that indeed Linux eventually took over the whole computing cluster 
despite the HP-centric management on staff back in the day.
