ARGH! Enough!
Xenix: Cadillac system. Powerful enough. Doesn't handle do well.
Makes hot computer jocks impatient. Big old cast iron V8.
Business folks love it because you can expect it to get
to point B, and you can get it fixed anywhere.
Microport/Bell Tech UNIX: Ferrari system. All the fancy features.
Fuel injected multiport turbo. Powerful in its way, too,
though you don't want to haul a trailer with it. Lots of
bells and whistles, but spends some time in the shop.
Some people like Cadillacs. Some people like Ferraris. Me, I like VW GTIs :->.
