Some of use 68k'ers don't believe that Operating Systems Research consists
exclusively of reading the EE Times for when Western Electric's next release
of UNIX(tm)* SYSTEM (.+1) is due out.  I would prefer that the OS-9 discussion
focus more on features than "DOES TOO!", but that could only be helped if all
of the "DOES NOT!" people would unplug their terminals and go back to their
sandboxes.

(*) UNIX is, of course, a trademark of AT&T Bell Laboratories.  Says so
right on the label!
