Back a few years ago, when 
we were still using NT4 at work, I started calling it "No
Trabajo," or "I
don't work."  It seemed that every time I tried to use Microsoft Internet
Explorer with Microsoft Windows NT, the system would lock up cold.  So, I
figured that must be what NT meant.
 
OTOH, the system worked just fine if I used Netscape or Opera instead.
