Nous ne résistons pas à cette occasion à l’envie de partager avec vous ce petit clin d’oeil repéré sur multicians.org:

TITLES FOR PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH MULTICS
by anonymous.CompSys.a

Now that Multics is a marketed product, there seems to be
a need for some formal titles that express one's level of
involvement with Multics.  How about the following for a
start:

User - one who learns something more about Multics every
    time he logs in.

Multician - one who knows a fair amount about several 
    phases of the Multics design; a jack of all 
trades, master of none.

Multicologist - one who studies part of the Multics
    design in depth, unearthing relics of the
    past, and making exciting discoveries daily.

Multometrist - one who measures and characterizes,
    compares and scrutinizes, Multices.

Multical Theorist - one who is able to talk about Multics
    without once referring to pxss, ipc, page, or
    hcs.

Operator - one who is certain to know less about Multics 
    than you do.
