I would disagree with that.  I own a set of the Unix Time Sharing System
Programmer's Manuals, 10th Edition.  The *thing* called UNIX is alive and
well in its original home at Murray Hill.  Alas, it only runs on vaxen,
and woe to us, it'll never see the light of day outside of AT&T and perhaps
a few universities.  Ah well.  It's time the world moved on to something
like Amoeba, anyway.

If we have anything to say about it, there will be yet another PDP-11 on
the internet.  We will be running (probably) Unix 2.9 (the *real* thing!
:p ) and connecting to reality (???) via SL/IP.  To bad we can't get
2.10  (and thus have socket code!)
