As you may know, the original Jargon file can be found (search for Original Jargon File - the main site, dourish.com, seems to be down at the moment) before it was mutated by ESR. It is, for those of us who are middle aged and bitter and twisted, amusing that in the original things refer to LISP / Lisp Machines rather than C and UNIX, particularly because in general the complaints made by the Lisp / Lisp machine people about C / UNIX are almost identical to the complaints made by C / UNIX people about VB / Windows people.
