Nous ne résistons pas à cette occasion à l’envie de partager avec vous ce petit clin d’oeil repéré sur multicians.org:
The following was circulated anonymously at MIT Project MAC in the mid-70s. Thanks to Sammy Migues for unearthing it.

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.
