Wait, what's your point?
That UNIX is based on Multics?  So what?
That AT&T "stole" from Bell?  Tell me you didn't just draw a line between Lucent and BNL.

You might want to find a better source to back that up than one that's going to take the most pro-Bell (read: anti-impartialism) standpoint possible. :p

Ah, my bad, I thought you were taking Jenda's side with *that* link of all the ones out there (which would be very weak).  ;)

In layman's terms: I goofed.  Read too much into it.  Vops.  :D
