   I wrote my first program on punch card... for a IBM (maybe a 340?) and the lab   
   had half the punchers(?) from honeywell, which, of course had different   
   character set, Fun!.   
   And then the usual as you but avoided SunOs and SOlaris and went with Xenix   
   and HP-UX and of course CP/M and DOS. I installed my first Linux (Yggdrasil,   
   15 or so Floppy) on a Compaq Presario(I think) with a Massive 10MB HD!   
   Than I bought a RedHat box and kept with it, so Fedora Core and Fedora now   
   (KDE). I haven't used Windows for work for almost 30 years, so no ulcers.
