“I’m glad someone’s finally giving ed the attention it deserves.”
 Ken Thompson

Vernor Vinge
“Second by second, the Queng Ho counted from the instant that a human had first set foot on Old Earth's moon. But if you looked at it still more closely ... the starting instant was actually about fifteen million seconds later, the 0-second of one of Humankind's first computer operating systems.”
Vernor Vinge, A Deepness in the Sky
