"Actually, LU invented UNIX, which is the basis of Linux." One of the first computer programing languages I got to get familiar with after Fortran was UNIX...that was when you hadda' know the syntax to be able to do anything on a 'puter. Every "i" hadda' have a dot and it wasn't a dot.com either, and every comma hadda' be there, etc., etc., etc. If you wanted to do some sorting of data you hadda' know how to set everything up. There was nothing like a WINDOWS environment...I was working for Western Electric then and it was a Bell Labs group that developed UNIX...which was then intended for scientific and engineering statistical work.
