we should not deprive andy tannenbaum of one iota of the credit he
so richly deserves for spurring the creation of linux.
I have fond memories of threatining the Sun sales sloths with death
and worse if they didn't at least ship .h files after they unbundled
the C compiler. Sun is as responsible for GCC as the AT&T lawyers
are responsible for Linux.
True enough. My point was that both GCC and Linux received a tremendous
boost in popularity due to two massive acts of corporate stupidity.

P.S. This doesn't mean I'll ever *forgive* Andy Tannenbaum for spurring
the creation of Linux.
