I am also an old VAXer, been through the Slackware dozens-of-floppies ritual, and have been primarily on a Mac for nearly twenty years.

Your characterization of who I am and why I use what I use is woefully incomplete :)




> been through the Slackware dozens-of-floppies ritual

I see you know the old ways :).

To each their own, I still find myself most productive as a developer on a linux machine.


A relative used to take me to his office sometimes (after hours) so I could learn / play on the computers. One day, he gave me a task - he was installing Windows 95 and my job was to insert each floppy when the installer demanded it. That was fun the first few times ... :)
