This doesn't belong here, but the day this was first posted was the first
time I ever ran Unix on an IBM mainframe.  With thanks to Gordon Moffet,
that day I ran Unix on several VAXen, a Sequent Balance 8000, a P-E 3240,
a PDP-11/70 [posting on it], a 4341, an IRIS, and a Cray [I guess I could glab
an IBM PC].  The original posting reminds me a physicist who's only
conception of computers was based on his experience with VAXen and Crays. :-)

If VMS is an adult system, I wonder about COS, OS/370 under MVT, TSS, OS/32,
RSX,RT,DOS, and all the other things I would have to know to accomplish what
I had to do last Thursday.  Perhaps we should standardize on one computer
type....?  Need we go to back assembly language? U*x has problems, but
based on consulting last Thursday, I declare Unix an adult system.
