A Nonny Moose signs in
« on: 25 January 2005, 21:29 »
Hello to everyone.

I am a retired IT body, and if you look at my profile you will see that my preferred O/S is Multics.  A little hoary, and I don't know if anyone is running it anymore due to the cost of hardware.

This will be my only post for a while.  I am going to lurk before leaping.

If you want a look at my home site it is:
The key to a nonny moose.

Please have a look at my sig.  I am having trouble with understanding UBB code requirements.  Should it just be an img?

Yeah!

Multics = Multiplexed Computer Service

UNIX = UNIplexed X = CS the guys at Bell Labs were always making acronyms.

Those of us who worked in Multics often pronounced UNIX as "Eunuchs".  As far as I know, no UNIX as ever gotten at B1 (orange book) security rating.

Only a UNIX-lover would say that.  We've heard all that before.
