Hey, that's cheating :-)
The story I heard about uFortnights was a bit of an "in joke" within VMS
development. There was obviously a concerted effort to make VMS
documentation as dry as IBM stuff is perceived, so the developers put up
this new unit to see how far up the chain of cleansing it would go before
being "expunged". I hear that there was some surprise and embarrassment
when it escaped to customers.
If that's the case, I wonder how "?SYS-F-FUBAR - Failed Unibus Address
Register" snuck in, too :-)
