I'm one of your recent TUHS list subscribers - I first encountered AT&T Version 7 Unix on a PDP11/34 and I've used all sorts of *nix since then. One thing I noticed on this list is people's interest in the use of UPPER/lower case in Unix. It's always puzzled me when everyone talks about [the] PDP11 when, in fact, is says "pdp11" on the system itself: > https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/Pdp-11-40.jpg/250px-Pdp-11-40.jpg DEC seemed to have a schizophrenic attitude to this in their documentation, sometimes using "PDP11" and sometimes "pdp11". Not sure if anyone else had a similar experience to me when visiting the "Computer History Museum" in Palo Alto and being totally shocked to see machines I used 'quite recently' there as museum exhibits! I also made a complaint to the Museum, because the original Donald Becker Beowulf was hidden away in a corner behind a Cray machine :-( Nevertheless, a fantastic museum and I highly recommend a visit!
