Mind you what else is a student in Aberdeen to do in her spare time  "A student at the University of Aberdeen, Faulds has constructed a sophisticated replication of Microsoft's hugely successful Windows 95 operating system for the sake of "nostalgia" and "fun". " www.shortlist.com/tech/relive-the-glory-days-of-windows-95-with-this-emulatorOf course grown-ups are more serious, a PDP-11 emulator anyone ? |

For more info on the only real UNIX which grew up on PDPs check out this www.tuhs.org/I still have "C Prog Lang, ANSI C - Kernighan, Ritchie" somewhere. Got my first copy in 1983 I think  |
