I don't understand these things: many of the criticisms are right, but the facts are categorically wrong! Unix could benefit from some "normalizaion" (the Software Tools benefitted greatly from having been written all at once, not over the years), but the claim that Unix does not present a simple set of principles is the most incomprehensible statement he could have made! That is ALL Unix does, and that is precisely why he doesn't like it! If he hates it so much, why doesn't he go get an account on a TOPS-10 system or since he is at UCSD, a UCSD PASCAL machine? Well, enough of that. I yield the floor to Lauren. -Mike
