Relevance to Unix? Well, without the world's
first usable computer we
would not have the world's first usable OS, and M$ would probably reign
supreme by now...
Just imagine how differently things would have turned out had a major
software company, in the dawn of the 1980s, decided to seriously
pursue its UNIX variant rather than a clone of CP/M as it turned out.
