I get that too "young" feeling, I was just a little too young to make
it to Bell Labs. Not sure they would have let me in but if I had
been younger I would have fought hard to get in, those guys were my

I like to read stories from the Unix Lore, and discover the history of the

I fear I'll have nothing to contribute, as I'm younger than System V, but
