Dennis,

As you = may know, Unitech Software Inc. has been distributing = "Unix
Magic" = posters at recent Usenix conferences.  The poster shows = a
wizard = that looks kinda like you mixing various Unix tools together = to
make a = potion of some sort.  The only thing that isn't obviously = some
sort of = pun on an aspect of Unix is a canister labeled Oregano in = the
foreground of the picture.

Is there some significance behind this, other than the = obvious
"oregano"= double meaning?  Did you guys really use "oregano" to = help
drum up = your creativity for the original Unix development?

Just curious.
