OT: SCO steps in it again!

Okay, this -literally- had me rolling with laughter.  I'm looking for the
promised Open Source disc they're supposed to offer for OSR6 because I need
to build some packages for a client that simpy won't build with their
non-ANSI compiler, and I start out here:

http://www.sco.com/products/openserver6/

So I'm looking for the right related offering and peruse a bit, and it has
near the end a list of market share and achievements of SCO UNIX.  The one
that had me laughing so hard was their own ignorance in actually exclaiming
(and I do quote...go look!):

"* SCO UNIX helps the German train system run on time"

That's about what I would expect from that company!  :)

So sad, it's absolutely hilarious.  Does nobody in their marketing
department there have a grasp on history at least at a trivial level,
whereby they could avoid such a social gaffe?  Amazing...truly amazing.
