I didn't read heroics in the above tweet and I'm more than a little confused about the sour grapes here. Is it too much to forgive inaccuracies in a 29 year old memory for such a low stakes issue, especially when there is a huge benefit to giving a personality to some ancient OS history?
It wouldn't matter if he claimed his 5.25" drive shot lightning bolts the first time he tried to compile that dialog, the stories are still great and it's personally enough for me having grown up with these systems to hear them told (not much different from listening to a pseudo-senile grandparent exaggerate war stories for entertainment's sake)
