[sound of clapping]

One nit: Islip, right? Or was Icelip a joke that went over my head?

Subject: [OT] z/OS (not OS/390) (with apologies to They Might be Giants- 
Istanbul, not Constantinople)

z/os was os/390   
Now it's z/os , not os/390
Been a long time gone, Oh os/390
Now it's  Poughkeepsie delight on a moonlit night
Every sysprog in os/390
Codes for z/os , not os/390
if you've got a billing rate for os/390 
It'll be higher in z/os        

Even old Islandia was once New East Icelip    
Why he changed it I can't say
Charles just liked it better that way

So, Take me back to os/390
No, you can't go back to os/390
Been a long time gone, Oh os/390
Why did os/390 get the New??
That's nobody's business but Big Blue
