I was using BSD 4.2 in 1984, I'm not quite sure what led you to think "Unix War Stories" == "HPUX war stories"; I've used so many flavors of Unix, I probably can no longer list them all without an omission or three, but at least: SunOS, Solaris, Dynix, SYSVR3, SYSVR4, Xenix, HPUX, SCO Unix, FreeBSD, BSD 4.2, BSD 4.3, Linux, ..., if you specify "on which platforms", that list roughly doubles in length.

Geeks are not known for English usage skills, but really.

Last time I checked, google had my Usenet output somewhere upwards of 18,000 articles, and no, it isn't "flushed out soon" on a one month cycle, though I'd have trouble reproducing the stuff from even a decade ago from memory.

Your reading comprehension seems right down there with your writing skills, or maybe your problems holding a temperate discussion are somehow related to that paranoia that has you always putting things in the worst possible light. I'm not trying to claim M$Win is superior to Linux, I'm trying to use the USB memory stick to transport stuff from the M$Win rented system I use to access the net, to the Linux box I have of my own, but offline.

That requires that both ends work.

The MS-Windows side is trivially easy, just put the stick into the port and it works, as the next available disk drive identifier. The memory stick technology is mature enough, it shouldn't be any harder to use one on Linux by now, but it is, frustratingly so. The Linux box cheerfully tells me even what brand and capacity of memory stick I just put into the USB port, so why in the world doesn't it bring things to closure and make the device as automatically usable, as it is automatically recognized?
