Rumor has it that Vintage Computer Festival may have mentioned these words:

You got Google, don't you? Don't tell me that I have to give you the google 
link, eh? Shhheeeeeeeshhhh!!! ;-)

OK, there's a race car driver named Peter Gibbons, there's a character off 
of the movie "Office Space" (which I never saw, movie trailers looked 
*mucho lame* to me), and a teacher in the Department of Computer Sciences 
at the Univerisity of Auckland in New Zealand.

I'm guessing it's the 3rd guy, as he's almost marginally ontopic. Tho how 
HP got ahold of his iPaq is anyone's guess!
;-)

[[ Note to all: I didn't get it either; still don't; and not that worried 
if I ever do... I just thought this would be a good opportunity to pick on 
Sellam WRT him picking on others asking questions before googling... ;-) ]]

Laterz,
