                 operating system were believed to have been lost
                 completely. In 2008, however, a restoration team from
                 the Unix Heritage Society completed an effort to
                 resurrect and restore the first edition Unix to a
                 running and usable state from a newly discovered
                 listing of the system's assembly source code.",
