Beloved?  Beloved?  Are we talking about the same operating system. The
one that you type "cat" to display a file and "grep" to display and
match patterns.  (And please don't reply that that's not the operating
system, it's the command processor. To 90+% of the world--the users--this
is a meaningless distinction.)

Beloved is certainly not the adjective I'd use to describe Unix.
