Hey, look, you want it, you can have it. Comes with a buncha professors who
they think that it is the center of the computing universe. Which it
probably was, in 1970whenever-the-first-got-the-machine. (Hardware's been
upgraded several times since then; it's a 180Mhz alpha...)
Anyway, the problem isn't that it's a bad OS. (Although damn, it really
makes one type a lot more than Unix does.) It's that we've got no one with a
really good understanding of it, and outside help is becoming more and more
ridiculously expensive.
