[ITS] A derogatory term for <a href="../U/Unix.html"><i class="glossterm">Unix</i></a>, derived

from <a href="../U/Unix-weenie.html"><i class="glossterm">Unix weenie</i></a>. According to one noted ex-ITSer,

it is “<span class="quote">the operating system preferred by Unix Weenies: typified by
|

poor modularity, poor reliability, hard file deletion, no file version
|

numbers, case sensitivity everywhere, and users who believe that these are

all advantages</span>”. (Some ITS fans behave as though they believe Unix
|

stole a future that rightfully belonged to them. See

<a href="../I/ITS.html"><i class="glossterm">ITS</i></a>, sense 2.) </p></dd><dd><p> 2. [Brown University] A Unix-like OS developed for tutorial purposes
