been working on a little collage of UNIX pictures, quotes, and other
little trinkets, for a little picture of mine.. Still needs more work..
but not worth talking here.. It got me wondering about how all of this
stuff happened, especially the little red guy we all love, Chuck.. well..
ok, the deamon. So, I asked the man with the copyright, Kirk McKusick
himself. Long story, he said, so he didn't feel like relating it, and one
fateful day, he'd explain it all on his site. But, nonetheless, I'm still
curious! So, if anyone out there knows the story.. do tell...
Oh, he did say one intresting thing. I asked him which company tried to
steal Chuck.. and here is what he said...
"The nasty company was DEC of all places! They tried to expropriate
the daemon for Ultrix. Luckily that got stopped."
Kirk McKusick
BTW.. if intrested.. pre-beta version of pic is at.. (note parent dir is
to hide this page)
