Aucbvax.2559 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!KLH@SRI-KL Fri Aug 7 19:26:35 1981 EUNUCH for large machines From: KLH at SRI-KL Anyone who thinks "Unix is a good system for large machines" has gone off the deep end, even for a Unix chauvinist.

Aside: I think it's long past time that some university developed a PUBLIC DOMAIN OS/compiler that would do the same things. I can't believe, in spite of the ridiculous licensing fees, that Western Electric is investing one percent as much time as the "public" is into making UNIX a usable and livable system. A little direction to this mass movement could have fixed the problem long ago... -------
