OTOH, there is some evidence that an amateur went mucking with the time machine! No 19-bit architectures, but somewhere in a reality distortion field around Vancouver, it appears that AIX actually survived long enough to see the 64-bit world, and that some yahoo vendor decided to make a version of C where sizeof(void*) > sizeof(long). There's no way either of those could have happened naturally.

And though this place is supposed to be one the more successful pot havens on the planet I just can't seem to compete with the stuff those "vendors" in Austin (AIX) and Seattle must have been smokin'.
