I expect Darren's talking about the big picture - yes, desktop UNIX
machines were around in the late '80s (e.g. Torch Triple-X, Whitechapel
MG-1) which gave you a GUI and some icons to click on, but they were
rather expensive in comparison to a PC running Windows, and you'd have
to have a very good reason to issue them to users.

Oh come come, Jules. A PC running Windows in the late 80s? Are you
Sirius? Would you actually have wanted to do that? Windows was ****e
until at least Win95, when they *finally* learnt to copy the Mac.

No it was win2000, when no dos was there. It was a toy Mickey mouse
setup. We asked it to anything except provide a window which apps running
on UNIX servers or mainframes ran inside. Other it would just fall over.

Take more water with it.

it's impressive that drivel claims that he was running Windows 2000 in the
late 80s. So not only does he claim to be a UNIX guru but he's also the
owner of a time machine.

Note how he's gone from "I" to "we" when talking about his fictional
Unix/Windows setup. Assuming it actually existed, it's likely the real
work was done by an expert and Drivel was merely the tea boy.

What grade of petrol do you put in your tea?
