S1 may be pure vaporware (excuse me, vapourware). In June '85 I saw a
promotional leaflet for S1 which announced in large letters "UNIX IS A
DINOSAUR." This was followed by a series of bombastic (wild, probably
exaggerated) claims for functionality and performance mixed with a
viscious diatribe against UNIX. I have no great love for UNIX, but
the intensity of the criticism was not justified.

CAESAR (recovering his self-possession):
Pardon him Theodotus: he is a barbarian, and thinks that
the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
