- tonto 5y agosuch a cool video
- gameswithgo 5y agoeven now it is all pretty slick especially for people who have always been in GUI operating systems, at the time it must have seemed like wizardry.
- srcreigh 5y agoI love how she takes a sip of her coffee/tea when she has to wait for the computer
- macdice 5y agoIt's interesting that uniq is spelled unique in that video. I wonder who changed that!
- bspammer 5y agoI was wondering what "mismatch" was too, turns out it's comparing to the system dictionary https://github.com/watson/old-unix-spell-checker/blob/master/mismatch https://github.com/watson/old-unix-spell-checker/blob/master...
- darkwater 5y agoThanks for the video! How come we lost the `lowercase` command? I know you can use `tr` or `sed` among others to accomplish the same but I would still love to have a `lowercase` command :)
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoPossibly the most amazing thing is that speak(1) is actually functioning in 1982 !! And remember, it's not just the software, you need some sort of DAC connected as well. Granted, Max Matthews had done the first digital synthesis of sound nearly 30 years earlier, but there's no sign that Cherry is working in an digital audio lab. She's on a terminal, probably connected to what was then called a "minicomputer" ... with a DAC!
