Back in '94, I was doing a dissertation project in CompSci. I asked people who'd done it for advice. The reply was always the same "Don't use Wanda and don't use X."

Wanda was a research operating system developed by Cambridge University. X was much the same, but developed at MIT.

I'm amazed X has lasted as long as it has.
