    Those transcript pads and the ability to edit text/commands whatever is
    blinding progress compared to the UN*X interface that only needs an
    ascii terminal and remins me of old time share systems.

Here's someone who's obviously never heard of "ksh" or used an Emacs shell
buffer to interact with the shell.  These are not characteristics of UNIX, per
se, just as the DM (what a horrible hack) is not a characteristic of AEGIS.

    Do these people who prefer UN*X actually use AEGIS ?

Speaking as one who does prefer UNIX, yes, I do use AEGIS whenever I am
forced to by the incomplete coverage by Domain/IX of the engineering
environment I require.
