An early BSD user of Version 6 Unix and 2.8BSD on PDP-11's, she found early systems a mixture of good and bad. "Good" needed explaining, but "bad" needed replacement. Unless you got "bad" out really fast, it took on a life of its own, with many attempting to find a way to justify it as "good". Sometimes the "bad" would thus end up as terminating the "good". Eventually, with 386BSD she got a chance to explain this and attempt to winnow the "bad" from the "good".
