     Once, a few years ago, after a frustrating day with some MS 
Windows 3.1 bug or another, I copied win.exe to lose.exe and 
henceforward used this to start up MS Windows.  Sure, it was silly and 
petty - but it did make me feel better for awhile :-) (and more 
accurately reflected the behavior of the .exe at the time).
