Well, obviously you don't know how to use your unix tools very well.  Before
putting the palindrome into 'rev', you need to remove all spaces, 
commas, and newlines.  Don't forget to make all the letters lowercase
as well.  After doing that, using rev and diff will tell you that it
was, in fact, a palindrome.

No, the first answer is right. It is a penny-farthing bicycle (I've oftern
wondered what these are called in America, where I suspect they did not have
farthings - or am I wrong about that).
The bicycle and the quote are references to "The Prisoner" a bizarre English
TV series from the 60's with Patrick McGoohan.

Amigas are, and always have been, real computers. A real computer is defined
as any computer shipped with a real operating system: one that manages all
resources available to the user, including memory, CPU time, disk space, all
devices, screen real estate, user input, and software resources such as
drivers, file systems, and libraries.

Operating systems that force application programs to manage any of these
resources, such as DOS (everything), Windows (devices, CPU time), MacOS
(CPU time, user input), or UNIX (libraries, screen real estate), VMS (file
systems), and so on do not count as real operating systems. You want a real
operating system, get an Amiga.

IBM-PC clones don't count as real computers under any circumstances, since
they're shipped with DOS.

Or, as usually happens, it might be that someone told it to him at
work, he thought it was cool, and posted it.
