Brand, Stewart (1984). Tandy/Radio Shack Book: Whole Earth Software Catalog. Quantum Press/Doubleday. ISBN 9780385191661. The best thing about UNIX is its portability. UNIX ports across a full range of hardware—from the single-user $5000 IBM PC to the $5 million Cray. For the first time, the point of stability becomes the software environment, not the hardware architecture; UNIX transcends changes in hardware technology, so programs written for the UNIX environment can move into the next generation of hardware.
