I think the chart would be more realistic if we compared the classes
doing the same task.
\begin{:-)}
PROBLEM: change 100 .pas files in a directory to .p
Beginner: Gets his friend to do it for him.
Novice: Types in all 100 mv commands at the terminal.
User: Does a ls into a file and edits it to give 100 mv foo.pas foo.p
lines, then runs the script.
Hacker: Writes a 50 line C program to do it and posts it to the net.
Guru: Does it with a one line pipeline or an interactive for loop.
Wizard: Uses an undocumented option in mv that she put in 6 years ago.
\end{:-)}

Well, in the same spirit of naming wizards, I have this one for chips.
Sometime back, I read somewhere that UNIX on a chip would be probable.
If I get to name that project, I would call it "CHIX".
