Larry,
How about a virtual birthday "card" where we make a site that people
from all over the world can sign on and leave personalized "best
wishes"?
To promote it, we design a modest logo that people can place on their
websites, linking to the site, allowing visitors to read the various
"cards", and encouraging them to leave their own messages.
We could add an /etc/passwd style listing of "users" with their own /
etc/motd or "wishes of the day". We could bootstrap it with the
original passwd entries, recognizing and saying "thank you" to the
creators and contibutors of UNIX, in a wiki style with proper
monitoring of course.
What do you think?
Jim

and we are too, seems like maybe someone could come up with an idea.
If that idea requires money then let me know, millions isn't in the
cards, but drop a couple of zeros and maybe we can do it.
Regardless of all that. kudos to Brian, Dennis, and Ken. And Joe,
because I still do my papers in troff, our invoices are in troff,
and our logo is in troff. Our website is in troff -ms format,
I wrote a perl script that generates the html.

So when do the official celebrations begin?
What's a good estimate
of the month and date in 1969 when it all began?
