"...Unix is a lot more complicated (than CP/M) of course--
the typical Unix hacker can never remember what the PRINT
command is called this week--but when it gets right down
to it, Unix is a glorified video game. People don't do
serious work on Unix systems; they send jokes around the
world on USENET or write adventure games and research papers..."

I think a comment is definitely in order. The article refernced was a very
humorous, tongue-in-cheek [:-)] look at programming and programmers. It
was done with an obvious abundance of love for the subject matter and an
ample dose of bitterness about being burned by the subjects which are
inversely praised.

The referenced quote could be taken many ways, cited out of context. In the
context of the entire article, it was just great.
