What a pity.

Dennis Ritchie upon one of AT&T's earlier triumphs of management  
insight - the sale of Unix to Novell:

	And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.  And Esau
	said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall
	this birthright do to me?  And Jacob said, Sware to me this
	day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto
	Jacob.  Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and
	he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way:  thus Esau
	despised his birthright.
						Genesis 25: 31-34
