In 1986 I moved from Austin to Palo Alto to work for ACIS on 4.2 and 4.3 BSD kernel and drivers. For a while. But then AIX absorbed the Palo Alto group and ACIS died. In 1991 I joined Apple to work on A/UX. To my surprise AIX followed me to Apple too. Now I'm on Rhapsody and I doubt AIX will follow me again :-) -- Conrad Minshall mailto:conrad@apple.com If "conrad@apple.com" doesn't work, try using rad@acm.org.
