Welcome.
A reminder that we're here to discuss Unix
Heritage, so I'll nudge you
if the conversation goes a bit off-topic.
So I'll kick off another thread. What was your "ahah" moment when you
first saw that Unix was special, especially compared to the systems you'd
previously used?
When I discovered that there was nothing special about the Shell i.e. I
could write/modify it, as it was not privileged in any way (unlike, cough
cough, DCL etc).
