I have had the joy of about 20 years of *nix myself, starting with Minix on an original IBM XT.  It has been the basis for half my career thus far, and I hope to have many more happy years with it's variants.

For those interested, you can run some much older versions of ATT UNIX through the simh emulator for a glimpse of what has changed (and what hasn't).

Subj:[tclug-list]  40 years of Unix

I am usually a total lurker on this list, so most won't know me.

However, I've been fortunate enough to have taken Unix-like systems for a 25
year ride.

If you are ever in the Bay, I highly recommend visiting the Computer History
Museum:

That will give you more appreciation for this history.

Back to lurking..........
