Title: A Nonny Moose signs in
Post by: A_Nonny_Moose on 25 January 2005, 21:29: Hello to everyone.

I am a retired IT body, and if you look at my profile you will see that my preferred O/S is Multics. A little hoary, and I don't know if anyone is running it anymore due to the cost of hardware.

This will be my only post for a while. I am going to lurk before leaping.

If you want a look at my home site it is:

Post by: A_Nonny_Moose on 26 January 2005, 22:59: Yeah!

Multics = Multiplexed Computer Service

UNIX = UNIplexed X = CS the guys at Bell Labs were always making acronyms.

Those of us who worked in Multics often pronounced UNIX as "Eunuchs". As far as I know, no UNIX as ever gotten at B1 (orange book) security rating.
