Some users swear by Aqua interface of MacOS X, others proclaim the desktop-readiness of Linux, the polished presence of Windows XP, or expound upon the stately Solaris as the ultimate operating system. All of these users are wimps.

I think you want IBM's VM/370; if you install DEC/Compaq/HP's VMS you're going to be very surprised! VM was a walk through memory lane for me as well. My first real job was migrating users from my University's VM/SP [HPO] mainframe to Solaris.
Never had the chance to work on any of the AS/400 vintages, but I've always been a admirer of the design concept. It might be fun to pick one up off of Ebay -- small ones are PC-sized and not particularly expensive.
