    And the x is lower case

    Yes, that is my original 1977 Yellow Card (System/370 Reference Summary)

            Not after you flush. The best technologies are indistinguishable from magic.

                      Like chatting in a barbershop or a nail parlor. You go there presumably to get a haircut or get your nails done, but they can talk to you about anything and everything!
