That's cool, we don't
want one thing to be forced down our throat. Having a choice is what is
good. And what I value, Larry or Jon may not necessarily like. Most of
us if not all on this list probably want something that approximates Ken
and Dennis's original ideas not what IBM, DEC, CDC were trying to make us
use in the old days or what Microsoft calls a system today.
I want an *evolution* of their original ideas. Instead we have
significantly more complicated systems which may be more
efficient but certainly a lot more bloaty and less flexible
(with a few exceptions). [Ties in with the single system idea]
The discussion of how we got there and what people
valued at the time is
useful so we can try to remember the history and learn from it; but getting
into right/wrong, good/bad, or you could have had this is a tad tiresome;
IMO.
