    80s programmers hated Unix, btw. Look up Unix Haters Handbook, it’s a free and funny read

      Unix Haters Handbook

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_UNIX-HATERS_Handbook

      Didn’t knew this. It has 360 pages, wow!

      EDIT:

      The Macintosh on which I type this has 64MB: Unix was not designed for the Mac. What kind of challenge is there when you have that much RAM?

      hehe

      They also hated their local sysadmin. BOFH still holds up in a few key ways.

        Thanks. I didn’t know there was a real band called “The Pipi Pickers” and I might have lived on happily without that knowledge.
