Roy obviously enjoys pouring over language issues.  Here is some
pe[rl]pper to add extra dimensions to the nose and to the palate:

    TMTOWTDI (loosely pronounced "tim-toh'-dee"), which stands
    for "There's More Than One Way To Do It" (the Perl motto).

TurboIMAGE has one way, Oracle has another way.  Same bits (more
or less), different prices...

Variety is the spice of life.
