Unix turns 40
As most of my readers know, my day job is as a Unix developer & system administrator for a large outsourcing company. ‘What’s Unix?’ the non-technical among you might ask. Well, basically it’s just about the greatest computer operating system to achieve widespread use (there have been better or more interesting ones, but they never really took off). It turns 40 this year. Kinda funny that I work on something almost nine years older than I am.
Kinda sad that the computing world hasn’t adopted anything better in the intervening decades either.
