What's happened to the PavingExpert site ???

The domain is still registered to a Mr McCormack of Warrington, so hopefully you're right.

"Ian Chard, Senior Unix and Network Gorilla " - another Unix user!!!!!

There's a lot of it about, you know...

Story here from the horse's mouth:

I blush with shame then ;-) $ uname -a Darwin Hurricane.local 8.11.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.0: Wed Oct 10

However a quick relocate to the server

$ uname -a Linux tempest 2.6.18-6-486 #1 Mon Aug 18 08:05:56 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

restores some pride.. ;-)

^^^^^^^^^

You should patch yer machine then ;-P

Tiger:~ steve$ uname -srv Darwin 8.11.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.1: Wed Oct 10 18:23:28 PDT

It's even where people forget it's there.

Naah. CBA. Things will break.

You can get a 6 month old copy from the way back machine

I was going to say much the same..but people would probably say 'not real UNIX' (if it were Linux, that'd be more true..)...

which is getting a bit silly!

KOS UKC 1971 - as well! I even wrote some subsystems for it..

Hi I well remember the TTY and card machines - I wrote my first real prog in Oct 1971 - Fortran 66(?) - Least Squares or something ..

When did the Cornwallis fall down the hole ?

It used to be the norm, to go through, after the paper aeroplane spate had finished , 'the tunnel'

Least Squares was my first assembler program on the same machine! That would be about April 1971...

Middle of 1974.

Yup, done that.

Darwin 70-73, 74-78. and Computing Laboratory ever since (I still work there!). They've even named a room in Darwin after me!

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember MikeH saying something like:

If it's gone titsup.com, have a look the archive machine...

In fact, here y' go

Checking various systems around different family members' homes (some in different countries)...

a14% uname -a SunOS a10 5.10 s10_32 i86pc i386 i86pc [Intel Pentium I 120MHz, 32 bit] (That's an anchient Solaris 10 development build, but it's effectively a microcontroller app so it's never going to be changed.)

There's also a 486 DX2/66MHz with SunOS 5.7 (Solaris 7) on it, and an Ultra 10 with Solaris 8 on it, but these are powered off at the moment. I use them to build software which I want to run on all supported Solaris releases. (Solaris's binary compatibility guarantee means binaries built on old releases are guaranteed to run unchanged on newer releases, so you don't need one per release.)

Keynes 92-errrr....still there :)
