I see a stylistic connection between the style of writing of the manuals
and the New York journalism, especially that of the New Yorker. When I
arrived at Bell Labs, I was a little taken aback by the change of culture
in writing, dressing, and entertainment compared to my years as a grad
student in California. I mean, I fit in - I subscribed to the New Yorker -
but I felt like a bum in a room full of high society folk.
That feeling never really left.

We can add the eastern coast of Australia, where the original Wollongong
group made the first V6 port to the Interdata 7/32 (not to be confused with
the Labs port to the 8/32). The Western U.S. company of the same name was
formed to sell it, but I don't know if any of the Ozites moved to Palo Alto.
