- While I would love to see something substantially different than UNIX(R)
- being introduced, I still think USL could doom any such OS with their
- "intellectual property" b.s. Apparently, in their eyes, anyone who has

- guilty of stealing ideas that only AT&T could have possiblity thought of
- because they are the only people in the world that can think (warning:
- extreme sarcism mode set). Yes, USL is becoming the new Apple or the
- McCarthy of the 90's. "Have you ever used or do you know of anyone who
- has used a UNIX(R) system? GUILTY!"

- Remember: the concept of TRUE and FALSE are propriety USL concepts.
