I've always heard it in my head as linux, sounds like Linus. I thought Linus would be a good picture for it, if I had any clue what a linux was, or is, or whatever. And how come nobody ever names their kid Linus? Answer that, ULS.

There are two kids called Linus in my kids school of 480 kids. That's nearly half a percent. That's like having three Shawnee123s in the cellar. Or something.

I'm still chuckling at your thread title but I know you're bummed out.

Sorry that things aren't working out for you at the moment.

Really? I don't think I've ever heard of anyone named Linus except for Linus Van Pelt. I like it.

Three Shawnee123s is two (or three) too many.

I was reminded today that there are not two but three Linuses in my kids' school -one seventh-grader and two third-graders. So that's like four or five shawnee123s.
