Oh, Unix was dead when I first started using it in 1986 too. It had already been a case of "why is it even still a thing" for several years. But it had a nice shiny Vax 8650 mainframe to live on that would comfortably support 100 interactive users; which was less than the same computer running VMS (I think its arbitrary limit was 160) but as much as VMS was really friendly and Unix was some scratchy cat on the way back from the pub, it was much easier to program.

Gnu, though. I invariably end up thinking if they spend the time they do in politics and pontification instead writing code, they'd be awesome. But no, it's the same old GNU, yay, we have a manual page. As well-established as it is, we don't like it. We like Info... which means emacs and though we're aware there are people who doing like emacs, they shouldn't be allowed near a computer. Oh, and we never bothered to install the info stuff either, so you need to go some other website which is probaby a porn-parking site. But it's still better than man pages! Admit it!

Er, how about no.
