The History of Operating Systems

The Dosfish

Long ago, in the days when all disks flopped in the breeze and the writing of
words was on a star,
the Blue Giant dug for the people the Pea Sea. But he needed a creature who
could sail the
waters, and would need for support but few rams.

So the Gateskeeper, who was said to be both micro and soft, caused to be
fashioned a Dosfish,
who was small and spry, and could swim the narrow sixteen-bit channel. But the
Dosfish was not
bright, and could be taught but few tricks. His alphabet had no A's, B's, or Q'
s, but a mere 640 K's,
and the size of his file cabinet was limited by his own fat.

At first the people loved the Dosfish, for he was the only one who could swim
the Pea Sea. But the
people soon grew tired of commanding his line, and complained that he could
neither be dragged
or dropped. "Forsooth," they cried, "the Dosfish can do only one job at a time,
and of names he
knows only eight and three." And many of them left the Pea Sea for good, and
went off in search
of the Magic Apple.

Although many went, far more stayed, because admittance to the Pea Sea was
cheap. So the
Gateskeeper studied the Magic Apple, and rested awile in the Parc of the Xer
Ox. And he made a
Window that could ride on the Dosfish, and do its thinking for it. But the
Window was slow, and it
would break when the Dosfish got confused. So most people contented themselves
with the
Dosfish.

Now it came to pass that the Blue Giant came upon the Gateskeeper, and spoke
thus: "Come, let
us make of ourselves something greater than the Dosfish." The Blue Giant seemed
like a humbug,
so they called the new creature Oz II.

Now Oz II was smarter than the Dosfish, as most things are. It could drag and
drop, and could
keep files without becoming fat. But the people cared for it not. So the Blue
Giant and the
Gateskeeper promised another Oz II, to be called Oz II Too, that could swim
fast in the new,
32-bit wide Pea Sea.

Then lo, a strange miracle occurred. Although the Window that rode on the
Dosfish was slow, it
was pretty, and the third window was the prettiest of all. And the people began
to like the third
window, and to use it. So the Gateskeeper turned to the Blue Giant and said
"Fie on thee, for I
need thee not. Keep thy Oz II Too, and I shall make of my Window an Entity that
will not need the
Dosfish, and will swim in the 32-bit Pea Sea."

Years passed, and the workshops of the Gateskeeper and the Blue Giant were many
times
overrun by insects. And the people went on using their Dosfish with a Window;
even though the
Dosfish would from time to time become confused and die, it could always be
revived with three
fingers. Then there came a day when the Blue Giant let forth his Oz II Too onto
the world. The Oz
II Too was indeed mighty, and awesome, and required a great ram, and the world
was changed
not a whit. For the people said "It is indeed great, but we see little
application for it." And they
were doubtful, because the Blue Giant had met with the Magic Apple, and
together they were
fashioning a Taligent, and the Taligent was made of objects, and was most pink.

Now the Gateskeeper had grown ambitious, and as he had been ambitious before he
grew, he
was now more ambitious still. So he protected his Window Entity with great
security, and made its
net work both in serving and with peers. And the Entity would swim, not in the
Pea Sea, but also in
the Oceans of Great Risk. "Yea," the Gateskeeper declared, "though my Entity
will require a
greater ram than Oz II Too, it will be more powerful than a world of Eunuchs.

And so the gateskeeper prepared to unleash his Entity to the world, in all but
two cities. For he
promised that a greater Window, a greater Entity, and even a greater Dosfish
would appear one
day in Chicago and Cairo, and it too would be built of objects.

Now the Eunuchs who lived in the Oceans of Great Risk, and who scorned the Pea
Sea, began to
look upon their world with fear. For the Pea Sea had grown and great ships were
sailing in it, the
Entity was about to invade their Ocenas, and it was rumored that files would be
named in letters
greater than eight. And the Eunuchs looked upon the Pea Sea, and many of them
thought to
immigrate.

Within the Oceans of Great Risk were many Sun Worshippers, and they had wanted
to excel, and
make their words perfect, and do their jobs as easy as one-two-three. And what'
s more, many of
them no longer wanted to pay for the Risk. So the Sun Lord went to the Pea Sea,
and got himself
eighty-sixed.

And taking the next step was he of the NextStep, who had given up building his
boxes of black.
And he proclaimed loudly that he could help anyone make wondrous soft wares,
then admitted
meekly that only those who know him could use those wares, and he was made of
objects, and
required the biggest ram of all.

And the people looked out upon the Pea Sea, and they were sore amazed. And sore
confused.
And sore sore. And that is why, to this day, Ozes, Entities, and Eunuchs battle
on the shores of the
Pea Sea, but the people still travel on the simple Dosfish.
