Yeah, but in an oh-so-frustrating way. Sys V was not my cup of tea and AIX

Early AIX is what happens when you give a detailed description of Unix to mainframers
who've never seen Unix, and then tell them to implement that system, and then ship
it, without at any point letting someone who's used an actual Unix system touch it.
My favorite characterization of AIX came from Barry Shein: "It will remind you of
Unix."
