Have any of you ever tried reading some of the old Unix magazines from the mid-80's? They're very entertaining reads, and really show how attitudes in computing have changed over time but also how certain arguments will always be the same. Complexity versus simplicity, anyone? I just read a great issue covering the debate over whether Unix could successfully be scaled up to mainframe computers from its traditional networked VAX environment. What an idea, people not being certain if Unix was suitable for big compute projects! A lot of the magazines are available on the Internet Archive, which is where I'm reading them: https://archive.org/search?query=unix
