FINNALLY one that is not _left_ to _right_ ! Those are hard to read when fitted to screen.

[DarkStarAeon]

Wow! That's extensive.

Heh, BSD was born in 77, like me. :)

If I knew what that meant, I might say something more than this. lol

Youngster, for lack of a better 'translation' :D

In 1977 I was tinkering with an Altair (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altair_8800)...

I lost fingerprints on hot ICs...

PC-BSD is FreeBSD and not a fork or spoon or...whatever.

[TerryP]

There is no spoon !!! :-)

There is no spoon !!! :-)
Great quote from a brilliant film. FreeBSD was used by Manex Visual Effects in the making of it 8)

Well, I built my little "MIADI" test project , out of 800 little "wire wrap" proto boards; completely programmable TI320xDSP processor ocnnections ADC/DAC...it was the size of a Toaster.
Anyway, bottom line, that was '89 and a little known companay called Gravis UltraSound beat us to the punch. I couldn't afford the TI "C" compiler so we wrote the whole I/O in Assembler, and trust me, TI assemblewr is pretty disgusting but it did work very well. ? so there U go.
But man, if that doesn't tell us where UNIX "C" has brought us , I don't know what will.
There is no History to UNIX/BSD, in fact, there is only the future, and as always,
Hats' off, good luck, and keep knocken' 'dem all dead developer babies'.

...u got that Bill ?

ok, good!
