Examples

“Hey, watch⟳ it! I'll be the first to admit⟳ that RSTS is old, generally ugly, and very stupid about lots of things, but it IS hackable. UNIX is equally, if not more, ugly, stupid, etc., and is also hackable. The difference is that in order⟳ to get⟳ UNIX to do ANYTHING even REMOTELY USEFUL it MUST be hacked. Of course, if you like⟳ case significance and an operating system designed around the same mindless philosophy, go ahead and use⟳ stock⟳ UNIX. For now, on PDP-11s, I'll stick⟳ to hacking RSTS.”
