The Strange Birth and Long Life of Unix

Interesting article about the 40th anniversary of the progenitor of many modern operating systems. It even mentions our very own Al Kossow, "One holy grail that eluded us for a long time was the first edition of Unix in any form, electronic or otherwise. Then, in 2006, Al Kossow from the <http://www.computerhistory.org/>Computer History Museum, in Mountain View, Calif., unearthed a printed study of Unix dated 1972, which not only covered the internal workings of Unix but also included a complete assembly listing of the kernel, the main component of this operating system. This was an amazing find?like discovering an old Ford Model T collecting dust in a corner of a barn. But we didn't just want to admire the chrome work from afar. We wanted to see the thing run again." http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/software/the-strange-birth-and-long-life… I love the picture of the very first man page.
