I think (hope) that Mike was just ribbing me a bit. And in any case, my Bash prompt is much longer than just "#" (which is usually only for root). Mine is: joarmc@mckown5 2012-05-22T18:18:00 ~/vpn
Reminding me which userid I'm logged on with, which PC I'm on (I have multiple), the date and local time and my current working directory. My z/OS UNIX prompt is similar due to being on 3 systems all the time.
