Bzzt your bzzt. Check your facts before buzzing in.
Here's a quick unix timeline:
1969 Ken Thompson & Dennis Ritchie develop UNIX
1971 B-language version
1973 First C-language version
1976 First licensed release
1977 First AT&T internally supported release
1978 First portable version
1979 First DEC VAX version
1979 Bill Joy introduces "Berkeley Enhancements"
1982 AT&T first markets UNIX
1983 AT&T markets System V as industry standard
Thanks for playing, as a lovely parting gift we have a helping of humble pie. ;)
