And he didn't forget either Bob the programming language from a former technical editor of Dr. Dobbs Journal, David Betz. This OO language is widely use on 'DVD players and set-top boxes produced by the likes of Toshiba, Samsung, and Motorola.' Do you remember any other language long forgotten that is still used in the real world?"

    Bob is a language. Bob is an OS interface. Bob is everything. You would know this if you had joined the Church of the Subgenius.

    May Bob be with you.
