I think it's fascinating that we may end up with a working first
edition Unix which has been *typed in by hand in 2008*. None of the
bits will actually be the original ones. Borges would be proud
("Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" is the story I am thinking of).
If anyone is looking for volunteers I would have a go at typing bits
in, but I do not know how much time I'm likely to have.
