Screenshots from developers and Unix people taken in 2002 (2015)

Brian Kernighan (Unix legend, the K in K&R and AWK):

my desktop is pretty boring, since it consists of xterm windows to whatever unix system i am using at the moment. On the other desktops I have a couple of konqueror windows open, a kmail and in the system tray a kscd, which currently plays Mozart’s piano Sonata No. 15 in F by Christian Zacharias. So I don’t really feel the need for GUI things like Gnome or KDE

Jordan Hubbard (FreeBSD co-founder, later Director of UNIX Technology at Apple):

Oh great, your email arrived early in the morning when I had just logged into my system, so things are a little bleak.
