What a pity.

Dennis Ritchie upon one of AT&T's earlier triumphs of management insight - the sale of Unix to Novell:

        And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.  And Esau
        said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall
        this birthright do to me?  And Jacob said, Sware to me this
        day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto
        Jacob.  Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and
        he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way:  thus Esau
        despised his birthright.
                                                Genesis 25: 31-34
