I think this is the funniest first four posts on a Slashdot article I've ever seen... (or maybe you had to be there)
The article is about changes in strategy for the makers of the Palm Pilot device's operating system (Known as PalmOS)

... under the plan, the company will simultaneously develop multiple versions of its OS and aim them at different parts of the cell phone market. With OS 5, PalmSource was focused primarily on making a hardware transition.

PalmOS 3.1 is for desktops.
PalmOS 3.11 for Workgroups is for small networks.
PalmOS NT is the server platform.
PalmOS 95 *is* *the* upgrade for PalmOS 3.1.

Hmmm...

Palm 98 is just like Palm 95, except it doesn't crash as much.
Palm 2000 is the first stable palm.
Palm XP is the Palm Experience... something most Slashdotters are already familiar with.

Yeah, let's not talk about Palm ME :)
