Sounds like the FAA when they were first introducing the Atlanta TCA
(IIRC) and had meetings in Middle Georgia. The conversation had come
around to economic impact on Middle Georgia and some locals complained
that they didn't like the FAA experimenting with something that would
effect the local economy. I was at the meeting and actually heard an
FAA rep explain that it wasn't an experiment, they were just trying it
out.

Also in the 70's, I did some work on a PDP-8. Normally it ran some RPG
based OS but we had a disk pack that loaded a CP/M like OS called PS/8
which was apparently a clone of something called OS/8. The front of
the manual said

"While PS/8 is not OS/8, it is exactly similar"
