Dave Cutler - Attitude Towards Unix

Cutler was also known for his disdain for all things Unix. His sardonic nature showed through in the VMS v Unix debates at DEC in the early 1980s.

Famous quotes containing the word attitude:

    As for the tenets of the Brahmans, we are not so much concerned to know what doctrines they held, as that they were held by any. We can tolerate all philosophies.... It is the attitude of these men, more than any communication which they make, that attracts us.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
