So many things have been written about the ancient history of computers. The "Unix Wars", the "locking in of customers", the real value of FOSS. maddog had a unique position and has a unique perspective due to having of been in a series of positions at Digital Equipment Corporation where many of these historic issues came to be. Things happen because of reasons, and many times those reasons are not known. After 50 years, perhaps it is time to know, so we can avoid these mistakes in the future.
