As quoted from <1495@osiris.UUCP> by mjr@osiris.UUCP (Marcus J. Ranum): ->+--------------- ->| From Jan BYTE: (Jerry Pournelle) ->| ->| "I must say that as I watch the OS/2 story unfold, I do begin to ->| wonder: if UNIX is ever made stable enough to be put in ROM, so that you ->| don't need a guru to maintain the system, there's less and less reason why ->| it won't catch on. I think of little that OS/2 promises that you can't do ->| with UNIX; and now that American Management Systems has developed the ->| long-mythical user-friendly UNIX shell, who knows ? ->+--------------- -> Oh no, Pournelle on the UNIX bandwagon? Is the the Death knell of UNIX? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Alan Filipski, GTX Corp, 2501 W.
