Thank you all for the kind words about me and my sig.
I'll add there are parts of this book that focus on UNIX history,
although in my next memoir (not started yet) the tech will be the
primary focus.
Thanks,

I rarely weigh in on things, but I think this one is important.
The history of Unix is not just of the technology, but also of the
people involved, their successes and travails, and the communities
that they built. Mary Ann referenced a book about her life and
journey in her e-mail's .sig. She is a very important figure in the
history of Unix and I think her .sig is entirely relevant to TUHS.
Cheers, Warren
