UNIX history made easy

[Benson I. Margulies]

<warning -- semi-sarcartic comment follows>

Computer scientists spend their time writing down meta-programs in
incomprehensible greek letters to prove the computation equivalent of
the inability of bumblebees to fly. They don't write operating
systems.

<end of sarcasm>

seriously, Unix has almost nothing to do with the bulk of computer
SCIENCE, as opposed to the engineering of operating systems.
One could be the world-wide expert in LR(4) grammars or Petri Nets 
and have no good reason to know Ken T. from Richard Nixon.
