Unix == confounding?
I'm sorry but even as a complete n00b and needing to buy "Unix in a Nutshell" in the early 1990's, Unix refreshingly made complete sense compared to DOS+QEMM+win3.1+IRQ's+spend all your time tuning and trying to get things to maybe work. It was like night and day.
Yes there were things to learn (hence the book) but it was easy and just worked.
Edit: referring to SunOS/Solaris on Sun hardware in the early 1990's vs DOS
- jeremyjh 4y agoYes, few would dispute the idea that in 1999 UNIX was a paragon of usability engineering.
