There is a nice article on Growklaw which describes the very early days of Unix. Denice Richie, Ken Thompson, etc. http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20050414215646742 One thing caught by eye; about 1/2 way through there is a listing of the original 20 or so nodes of the internet and guess who is there? The U of Manitoba! (along with 3 other Canadian universities). A fascinating read for anyone interested in the birth of the modern Internet and Unix. John Lange
