      This might beat roy g biv, but it doesn't hold a candle to the resistor color code mnemonic. :-O

      Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop. -- Matthew Faithfull

              I think the best one is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Eris. It's a list of 11 items, it's not that tough to commit to memory.

                        Eight planets, three minor planets. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Pluto - RIP :((
