My goodness.  Tell me some good things about Unix.  First there was single
user Unix.  Then multi-user.  Then System III.  Then Version 6.  Then Level 7.
Then Berkeley.  Then System V.  Then Berkeley 4.x.  Now those silly people
at Bell Labs are talking about System 8!

That must mean that Unix is a bad operating system, don't you think?
