What's interesting it is the 25th year of the Apple MacIntosh and today the Mac is essentually a Unix computer running on an Intel platform with Apple's graphical user interface. You can go to 'terminal' mode on the Mac and still run 'ls -al' for a completer directory listing just the way Thomson, Ritchie and Kernighan set up Unix at Bell Labs in the early '70's (Thomson went to work at Bell in 1969). So in a way, the Mac has 'evolved' into something older than Apple.
