	Well, it couldn't have been that bad then.  Up until a few years
ago, we were still running v6 on an 11/34.  Then we got a vax and switched
directly to 4.2BSD.  Everyone adjusted without much trouble, programmers
and secretaries alike.  Problem is, everybody also "adjusted" pretty
quickly to the fact that we had 450 Mbytes of disk instead of 10 :-)
