    Default Great UNIX film from 82

    For those Unix heads here (and I know there are a few), here is a great video to watch with a coffee while stroking your beard with your feet up on the desk.

    I don't trust the guy without a beard... You can spot an MS-DOS user a mile away.

    Very cool!

    @Laserboy - LOL - then you should watch the 20 years or Berkley UNIX Video by Kirk McKusick. I think he is hooked up with the Sendmail author.

    It was cool to see Kernighan in the video. He's one of the architects of the C programming language.

    I got into Linux in early 1995, when it still took multiple floppies to install it. I used it a lot to learn C in college. I also got to use their Sun Spark stations running Solaris. That's when things really started making sense to me.

    In 1996, my partner and I started a local Internet service business running Linux servers. Not long after that I was contacted by a guy who needed dial-up service but it had to work on his Windows 3.11 machine (not Windows 95) because he was running proprietary laser display hardware and software that would not work in 95.

    Hmmmmmmmm.
