I'm of course in the class that manages it. We have the tape decks connected to computers which have Avid. In teh control room we still have some *****og we have four VTR's but we also have everything else in the control room computerized. We also have 15-year old cameras so we're in both *****og and digital. We still use DVC tapes.

Can’t be bothered to go into how that made the big leap. And we r still using it.

Sections 2, 5, 6, and 7 are alright enough; the rest I would revise personally. But I appreciate someone trying to point into the past. Most computer users today know none of its history. Most kids feel entitled to the internet and think its weird that old people use it; often forgetting such things wouldn’t exist without them. (look up ARPANET – the internet has been around allot longer then you state; even if not in the form you know of it.)

Ha-Ha. C and its derivatives are garbage.”

Well all you script kiddies using python or ruby… guess what…
Your “language of choice” is itself written in C…
And yep… Jython is indeed written in C (At least the virtual machine that runs it) You can not escape from C…, so stop complaining and learn it (If you can’t learn C you are not a programmer, sorry)

Are you aware that CP/M was a “clon” of Unix for use on cheap CPU (Z80)?

Your assertion implies that Unix evolved from CP/M wich is untrue
