[W]ould anyone have spent this much time and effort writing about how much they hated Unix if they didn’t secretly love it? I’ll leave that to the readers to judge, but in the end, it really doesn’t matter: If this book doesn’t kill Unix, nothing will.

I like the foreword so far.

From the Foreword:

As for me? I switched to the Mac. No more grep, no more piping, no more SED scripts.

You can’t escape Unix

I always have Terminal open in the background. Never know when you might need to enact a dramatic hacker scene. I just can’t believe what they charge for thise minitors that project text onto your face.

A classic! Way back when it used to be recommended on as a good introductory text (until O’Reilly started publishing books on Linux, anyway).

As Unix is pushed to do more and more, it instead becomes less and less

That’s a pretty good pun of it was deliberate
