A few years back during a work lunch I spoke about installing Red Hat 9 from CD on my 350Mhz Pentium II with 64 MB of RAM. A 20-year-old sysadmin interrupted me to say how that wasn't possible as "they're only on Red Hat 7 right now". Explaining how Fedora and RHEL came to be from the original Red Hat made me feel old :-P. Now we've come full circle.
EDIT: At the risk of sounding like "that guy" I'd like to clarify that I don't fault my former colleague for what he said; for nearly 20 years "Red Hat" has been colloquially synonymous with RHEL (vice CentOS and Fedora) and I merely thought this was an amusing anecdote.
