Unix dead???

Well, he's good at humourous writing, no doubt. That was really
funny! Although some of the laughs was on the writer...

UNIX dead!? Well, in that case someone forgot to tell it so,
because it hasn't stopped moving yet.

And what about slow menu-oriented operating systems? I recall some
unmentionable horror called P/OS which runs on the DEC Professional.
It took only half a day for it to drive me crazy. And don't tell
me you can put THAT in front of a naive user and expect him to
be off on his own. (I have TEACHED univeristy-level engineering
students (most of them with a Ph.D.) on how to use P/OS, and
they had a hell of a time getting the knack of it. I have also
been teaching C programming under UNIX, and that didn't cause
any troubles at all).

Enuff of this for now; I'm not going to waste any more time rebutting
fools. If they prefer VMS (or was that MVS?), fine. Good luck.
