    Remember it for what it was originally made for... an operating system to learn from while coding.
    You might not remember those days, but when you have a working operating system that is minimal in code size, it's easier to grasp.

    I'm just a little disoriented by the need to advance it, unless it's a minimal codebase of the NetBSD variety. Then again, they did say it was "pulled" from NetBSD, so that'd mean in my mind it's not minimal... which nullifies that. ... and we're back to square one.

    from about 75,000 years ago until about 14,500 years ago, the world was glaciered over.

    Here's a brief rundown of the climactic change over the years:
    75,000 - 60,000 y.a. - full glacial world, cold and dry (the 'Lower Pleniglacial' or Stage 4)
    60,000 - 25,000 y.a. - 'middling phase' of highly unstable but generally cooler and drier-than-present conditions (Stage 3)
    25,000 - 15,000 y.a. - full glacial world, cold and dry; Stage 2 (includes the 'Last Glacial Maximum')
    (This period includes two 'coldest phases' - Heinrich Events - at around 23,000-21,000 y.a. and at 17,000-14,500 y.a.)
    14,500 y.a. - rapid warming and moistening of climates in some areas. Rapid deglaciation begins.
    13,500 y.a. - nearly all areas with climates at least as warm and moist as today's
    12,800 y.a. (+/- 200 years)- rapid onset of cool, dry Younger Dryas in many areas
    11,500 y.a. (+/- 200 years) - Younger Dryas ends suddenly, back to warmth and moist climates (Holocene, or Stage 1)
    9,000 y.a. - 8,200 y.a. - climates warmer and often moister than today's
    about 8,200 y.a. - sudden cool and dry phase in many areas
    8,000-4,500 y.a. - climates somewhat warmer and moister than today's
    Since 4,500 y.a. - climates fairly similar to the present
    (except; about 2600 y.a. - relatively wet/cold event (of unknown duration) in many areas)

    While I agree, I don't see it happening... It's almost like inventing another layer of abstraction in programming is a marketting ploy now. We had C for the longest time, then Java & .NET came out and since then it seemed like abstraction was just "the" answer. The sad part is that Java is kind of cool with its pure object orientation & cross platform abilities but the idea just blew up into a new paradigm so to speak...

    That being said, I think objective C is kinda neat.
