HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNIX!!!!

[Dennis Handly]

I started on HP-UX during the PA-RISC bring up. We also used it to get to multiple systems instead of a switch box with a terminal.

Well Unix has aged a damn sight better than me and i'm a couple of years younger!

Happy Birthday Unix and thanks for helping to pay the bills :-)

Like Mel, I started major programming on Burroughs iron, from the B300 (in assembler) to the B3500 (COBOL of course) and B5500 (ALGOL and Fortran). Like Dennis, I did some field reviews of the 840 Spectrum (first PA-RISC box) but did not jump into HP-UX until the late 1980's. Compared to the prehistoric days of version 7, 8, and 9, today's HP-UX is lightyears ahead and still a solid OS after more than 20 years.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of Unix's demise are greatly exaggerated. I'm sure there is a countdown clock somewhere for the year 2037 -- I'll bet HP-UX will still be kicking, perhaps on a Timex with 10 TB of RAM and 512 processors.
