| From: Dave Collier-Brown via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | The Multicians group has commented on this article at length: "puffery | after the fact" is probably a kind characterization. Is this the closed Yahoo Group? Is there a place to look at this on the web? I lived through the non-Multics part. I thought that the article was simplified but not too badly distorted. I only cringed a small number of times.
