> I'm an old-timer so was introduced to Unix before bash was ubiquitous.
Me too, my first contact with UNIX was with SunOS 4 in 1988, which had csh as its default shell. I don't think I switched to bash until I started administering a Linux box in 1999, although I did script in POSIX shells before then. Before I had a system I was in control of, my attitude to bash was that it was unportable, because of the major differences between its v1 and v2 syntax.
