Oh yeah.

Since next year marks my 20th year in the business I'm going to
revive an old flame or two.

Let's try:

1. Unix SUCKS. VMS Rules.

2. If you don't have 36 bits you're not playing with a full DEC.

3. TOPS10 sucks... TOPS20 is better.

4. TOPS10 rules... Let's see TOPS20 or VMS do reall SMP.

5. Mac's and GUI's suck. Command lines are great.

6. If they designed the GUI right you'd never need a command line.

7. 4.2 > SysV.

8. SysV UNIX... Consider it STANDARD.

9. Linux is better than *BSD.

10. Linux is great. Windows sucks.

Any votes for computer war of the last 3 or 4 decades?
