I can certainly understand that. I was surprised I was able to get my plate, 
but  here in Wyoming there must be fewer Unix geeks than in New Jersey or New 
York, both places I have lived. When I lived in Manhattan I did not want a 
car, for obvious reasons.

The number of "what does Unix mean?" questions I get far exceeds the number of 
people who understand it.

But I figured it was worth the $30 fee (one time, not every year).

We are limited to four letters here in Wyoming, so "Linux" was not a 
possibility.

The plate is on a pickup truck, such registrations exceed the number of 
passenger cars here in the boonies.

You must be in California or one of the few states that allow up to 7 
characters.
