I see a stylistic connection between the style of
writing of the manuals
and the New York journalism, especially that of the New Yorker. When I
arrived at Bell Labs, I was a little taken aback by the change of culture
in writing, dressing, and entertainment compared to my years as a grad
student in California. I mean, I fit in - I subscribed to the New Yorker -
but I felt like a bum in a room full of high society folk.
That feeling never really left.

It seems like Unix is largely a child of the coasts.
We can add the eastern coast of Australia, where the original Wollongong
group made the first V6 port to the Interdata 7/32 (not to be confused with
the Labs port to the 8/32). The Western U.S. company of the same name was
formed to sell it, but I don't know if any of the Ozites moved to Palo Alto.
