All I could think of was "A German Sneeze", or "Hogan's Heroes". Werner Klemperer (Colonel Klink) lamented that his character would be what he was remembered for. Yet, he and his father were excellent orchestral conductors. I remember a radio commercial several years ago for National Semiconductor, where this woman noted "My favorite National Semiconductor is Leonard Bernstein". KM> Yeah, in the olden days Windows always had to be installed first, and KM> oldest to newest. Now I'm not sure it makes any difference. It was also so much easier years ago, and didn't take as long. The 2004 Update to Windows 10 took nearly 8 hours to download, install, and do all the necessary reboots.

I call this "learning from others' misfortunes" and have not had KM> a mixed-species boot since Argo's Red Hat/Win95 setup, installed in KM> 1995 (eventually RH lost its password, which was "password" and KM> wouldn't boot at all, and was made to go away.

I think of the meme where the guy says he's going to change is password to "incorrect", as he keeps getting a message saying "Your Password is incorrect". :P KM> Bingo. This is the hazard of having unfinished features, which was like KM> as not the root of the problem. I've seen some doorgame IGM's (with L.O.R.D.) like that.
