What is unix? People always stop by my desk and say "Jerry, I have a
quick question" and I have to agree that the question is quick, but the
answer is NOT!

Here is a brief start on the answer:
   <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix>

Is it accessible for the blind? Traditionally it is one of the most
accessible operating system since it traditionally is text-based. When
you add a GUI, it becomes harder to make it accessible. There are a
couple of GUIs and many, many window managers that run on unix/unix-like
OSes, with varying degrees of accessibility. The answer is "yes, no,
maybe."

Sorry I'm not more helpful, but you basically asked a substantial subset
of the question of the meaning of life, the universe, and everything
   <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiker%27s_guide_to_the_galaxy>
and I just answered "42."
