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.

Ah... Memeories
I remember working in a computer centre about 1974. There was a Honeywell system that stored the data entry and I remember having to manually set the registers by flipping swithes on the front of the box.
I remember cutting JCL code on punch cards and feeding them into the card reader. Spending hours sorting out stacks of cards that I had dropped.
The joys of an IBM360, then the 370, (ISPF 2 I think I used to type on the new terminal thingy - we used the redundant cards for writing notes for years).
Sometime in the early 80's the fashion was to decentralise and I got to play with Wang V60s (can the young man emulate one of them?) and you could do something called wordprocessing on them - the beginning of the end for Mrs Nesmith's white-out.
Forgive me I'm starting to ramble. I think I'm getting a con code of 0008. I need to take my medication.
