Jim Hall will be doing a livestream on VCF's YouTube channel:

We don’t give much thought these days to what “Unix” means. In 2023, most
Unix systems are actually running some version of Linux, which includes
modern tools and commands that were unthinkable when Unix hit the scene in
the early 1970s. But some 50 years later, “Unix” still lives on.
Jim will look back on Unix history and experience first-hand what it was
like to use the original Unix. Unix 3rd Edition debuted in 1973, and he
chose that version as my target. That’s transporting back in time by 50
years.
He will talk about:
* Terminal setup
* FORTRAN66 program
* nroff document
* linenum program
* For another example of using Linux like original Unix, read hist article
