Hi Donald! Thank you for sharing this!

When I started reading about the line discipline I was hoping to find its history. I intuitively thought the reasons were hardware limitations but I did not find much on the topic. Thanks to you I now have a clear picture of the context and the constraints that led to the line discipline.

Since I wrote the article, I do not think I'll offend anyone by saying that your comment is (even?) more valuable then the article itself - I know it is for me. In the second part of the series I briefly describe the line discipline, do you think I could include your comment in the article? Of course, I'll give full credit to you.

Thank you :)

No worries Nicola you helped me immensely with your kubernetes internals article, thanks! I started with UNIX v7 in 1977 and worked with or befriended some of the original UNIX inventors and developers - that wealth can now be shared!
