[ OK, this is the last "No more BSD?" message.  Let's move it along to ]
[ what's new and interesting.  --DL                                    ]

Has anyone else been around long enough to remember the rumours that
Edition 7 was to be the last Unix?  Seems to be a regular event.

[ Actually that is somewhat true.  Edition 7 was the last Bell Labs    ]
[ research UNIX to be released.  There's something like 10 sites not   ]
[ part of Bell Labs that have Edition 8.                               ]

I can also remember certain adverts in the glossies:

	"Here at (name deleted) we're working on the next version of Unix..."


And just imagine how this could have changed history:

Ken:	Hey Dennis, this is a waste of time.
Dennis:	You're right Ken, let's try something else instead.

(Apologies to ken and dmr...)
