In my first NUGM session, Jane Burke said 5.1
	Is the best system money can buy!

In my second NUGM session, I heard that 5.1
	Still has lots of bugs,
	But it's the best system money can buy!

In my third NUGM session, I heard that 5.1
	Takes more disk,
	Still has lots of bugs,
	But it's the best system money can buy!

In my fourth NUGM session, I heard that 5.1
	Has no new reports,
	Takes more disk,
	Still has lots of bugs,
	But it's the best system money can buy!

In my fifth NUGM session, I heard that 5.1
	Came six weeks late,
	Has no new reports,
	Takes more disk,
	Still has lots of bugs,
	But it's the best system money can buy!

In my twelfth NUGM session, I heard that 5.1
	Executes more slowly,
	Uses more resources,
	Can't do complex check-ins,
	Leaves less space for help screens,
	Has poor I/O throughput,
	Still has macro coding,
	Has few circ enhancements,
	Came six weeks late,
	Has no new reports,
	Takes more disk,
	Still has lots of bugs,
	BUT...
		It's the best system money can buy!
