See http://www.molgen.mpg.de/~wwwutz/Unix_Haters/x-windows.html. I'm
especially fond of this quote from Marus J. Ranum from DEC:

    "If the designers of X-Windows built cars, there would be no 
     fewer than five steering wheels hidden about the cockpit, 
     none of which followed the same principles -- but you'd be 
     able to shift gears with your car stereo. Useful feature, that."

out 1400 homes and, of course, one raccoon."
