Annotation by strick :
Personally I dont use 

      gawk; talk; unzip; gasp; make mrproper;

I do use awk.  
I sure like yes, though i seldom use it.
I dont know what gasp is.
I dont talk.  I still think its insecure.
I dont sleep enuf.
I havent fingered in years.
I dont date, outside of UN*X.
Does wine work?
I like netpbm commands.
