Well, I've heard enough about punch cards, IBM 704s, and flaming
on computer crime for a while :-)

A few years ago, Unitech (a UNIX systems administration tool company
in Reston VA) put out a couple of posters about UNIX.  They were
given out (free) at USENIX/Uniforum conferences for a while.

The question is: what do all the things in the posters mean?  I've
figured a bunch out, but there are some I don't understand.  From
the poster titled "UNIX Views":
	UNIX wizard
	shells, corn cobs => Korn shell
	book of spells => spell
	black cat => cat
	sheep at a trough => troff
	four mice => m4 (?)
	keys => ?
	fisherman pulling a net => networking
	water => streams
	castle => Murray Hill
	flying devils => daemons
	lumberman => cut
	trees => ?
	buildings => ?
	mountains => ?
	graveyard containing tp, roff, Version 6 => obvious
	mailbox => mail
Any corrections or alternate interpretations would be greatly appreciated,
as would a similar list for the other poster!

Incidentally, Unitech was acquired by Systems Center in the past
month or two.
