INTERactive Systems Corporation

INTERactive Systems had a re-union last weekend. It was the very first company to sell a supported version of Unix. Started in the mid-1970's, eventually split in half (in the early 1990's, I think) with half going to Sun, to create and support the Intel versions of Solaris.

I worked there for 2.5 years, from 1979 to 1981. I remain in fairly close contact with at least a dozen of the people I knew from then. Remarkable group of people! I was surprised not to find a brief summary/history of the company out there somewhere on the web.
