we don't use caps we're trying to conserve disk space when possible we use semi-colons instead of colons we have a 12 point limit on font size and we frown on using unneccessary punctuation

No, I'm a UNIX guy where everything is case sensitive and the majority of CLI stuff is lower case. We do have a herd of AS/400s (not mainframe, I know) at ork, though, and those seem to require uppercase for everything. It's silly, IM!HO.
