asciilifeform: guessing - quite a few
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i can't help but wonder how many folks carry around 'mac' as just a unix box with a very peculiar set of window decorations

asciilifeform: lol, 'java' barfed bytecode routinely (on debug)
asciilifeform: perhaps adlai would care to offer a neater one.
