I agree.

Actually, for a while my signature line (before I get permission to
quote James) was, "MPE - To the Millennium and Beyond!!" which I
attributed to the fictitious "Buzz Oughtyear". I dropped it because I
was pretty sure I was misspelling "Ought" (for zero) - should it be
"Aught"? No one ever told me.

Now that I think about it, though, it *would* be a pretty good T-shirt
slogan...
