I could have sworn there was a "Nile Bookstore" back in the early days of .NET (2002 - 2004).

  What if I told you there was a major online bookstore circa 2002 that was also named after a humongous river[1]? [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_River https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_River

    That was the joke -- that and they are in the same city and some of the engineers at MSFT have beers with the AMZN engineers.

      Of course! I totally got the joke right away! Might I say, I'm totally in the Nile!
