<p>My wife is a college professor (definitely smarter than me) and
has a tutoring business on the side. Some of the kiddies are
indeed idiots, but as they typically never want to pay for
anything, we don't do business with them (and for other reasons).</p>
<p>Some of them are simply misinformed or uninformed. Among other
things, I tutor shell scripting.</p>

<li>You should see the lightbulb go off when they realize what
they've been missing</li>
<li>I get paid either way<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Not a bad gig.</p>
<p>A real treat is when I get to tutor assembler. It doesn't get
any better than that, but it's only once or twice a year!<br>

While I like "no undies" as much as the next guy, those guys are
idiots.

You know, I like "primordial Unix" more than "early Unix". Of
course, that then leaves the question of what to call the early
PDP-11 releases. Upper Devonian?
<br>
<br>
I followed the resurrection of PDP-7 based Unix at the computer
museum and, for some strange reason, found the assembler based
stuff of more interest than the latest Ubuntu glitz.

Glitz really leaves me cold if not annoyed.

That would be quite early indeed. :-) PDP-7 Unix was fairly
short lived (a year or two?) and was left behind for a long time
once they got the first PDP-11 system at BTL. I would humbly
submit that that might be more properly referred to as,
<br>
<br>
"primordial Unix".

'Early' Unix to me means before it got ported off the
PDP-7. [snip]
