Mr Bresler might be commenting on the unusually dry tone in my message,
but if it's on the topic of Unix Haters, I encourage you not to take his
tired reaction to heart.

I recommend _The Unix Haters Handbook_ (IDG Books 1994, ISBN
1-56884-203-1) by Garfinkel et al. to even the most ardent Unix
aficionados.  It's a great read, and filled with humor.  But it also has
hundreds of valid points of where Unix is screwed up.  If anything, it
serves as a specification of what to fix in future versions, or what not
to do if you happen to be writing a new OS from scratch.
