Yes, "all" might be an overstatement. ;) I should have included some of
the outstanding folks that did their internship there too. :)

The quality of the C and assembly code written at Bell Labs is a testiment
to the folks at Bell Labs, just look at the Plan 9 kernel. It is utterly

being an aficianado of well written code.
