Ever notice the Russian dolls on the covers of the various UNIX books?
Victor Kamkin's Book Store, Rockville Md. (301 881-5973) actually has
a very large assortment of these at prices from around $12 to around
$45, the $45 ones being quite large with many shells.  A number of the
UNIX gurus in the D.C. area at least have begun using these as good
luck charms, often keeping them apart whilst a problem is being solved
and together when it has been solved.  Clients don't even have to ask
how it's going... they can just look at the doll.
