Reply to comment by kyle_750 in TIL that George "Washington" Carver never formally used Washington as a middle name. He originally chose the middle initial W at random to ensure accurate mail delivery. Someone once asked if the "W" stood for Washington and Carver said "Why not?" He signed his name as George or George W. Carver. by AspireAgain
I have been given that in some places

I don't have a middle name and many jobs put some random middle initial because their system won't take a blank. Most places give me a N.

486DX2 are still used in PC104 computers. I was updating some Turbo C code in a virtual NT computer using VirtualBox almost three years ago.
