That's it! Cheerful Zig's got it! Not just shared libraries,
shared everything! No IO, just map data segments! Organick's book!
Dynamic linking! The information utility! Segments! Hey, let's
us at BTL get together with Zig at MIT and someone at GE and make
a really new system. We'll call it... Multix!!!! It's got everything,
including the now obligatory 'x' at the end of the name!
But wait...didn't we go through this 15 years ago?
Your ob't historian,
who recognizes the insights of Multics (seriously),
not to mention the Intel 432,
but who is nevertheless laughing all the way to the bank
to deposit more income in his "small really is beautiful" account,
and is in a somewhat raffish mood tonight,
Dennis Ritchie
