The most memorable thing about Scsh for me is its acknowledgments rant, which starts:
"Who should I thank? My so-called "colleagues," who laugh at me behind my back, all the while becoming famous on my work? My worthless graduate students, whose computer skills appear to be limited to downloading bitmaps off of netnews? My parents, who are still waiting for me to quit "fooling around with computers," go to med school, and become a radiologist? My department chairman, a manager who gives one new insight into and sympathy for disgruntled postal workers?"
and concludes:
"Oh yes, the acknowledgements. I think not. I did it. I did it all, by myself."
