All the silly people I know used PDP-10's and later UNIX*. If using PDP-10's followed by UNIX makes people silly, then the entire ARPA community should beware of silly behaviour when the huge ARPAnet host switchover from Twenex to Berkeley VAX ``UNIX'' happens. :-) [ 4.2BSD may not be UNIX, but it has the name, plus the backing of the biggest war machine on the planet. Hey, if they *say* it's UNIX, and point a nuke at me, I'll agree. :-< ] A public service from Geoff Collyer, U. of Toronto ____________________ * UNIX is a Trademark of Bell Laboratories and quite likely would have been a trademark of the Department of War if it hadn't been Bell's. VAX and PDP are trademarks of DEC, but it's hardly worth mentioning, since their lawyers aren't as hungry as Bell's.
