A few corrections to Emmet Hayes's post:

This may or may not be funny, but neither part is true. Unix was
developed at Bell Labs (in New Jersey), and LSD was disovered in
Switzerland.

>Another strange but true fact.....the UNI in Unix stands for one, yep
>you guessed it, Unix was originaly designed to be a single user OS.

No, this is a false fact. "Unix" is a play on "Multics" and Multics is
another one of those technologically-superior but otherwise-ignored
operating systems. Multics was also large and complex, and Unix was
designed to be small and simple.
