Windows Among the few things I'm proud of in my life, not having had contact with Windows when I first "met" a computer is somewhere around the top. Indeed, the first computer I used ran Unix, and I have been using Unices myself for some time.

Of course there is. I, myself, had XENIX on my first computer and yes I take some pride in the fact that I had to actually RTFM and learn to use a computer rather than the point,click,pray approach most prople are forced into when starting with Windows.

If you're going to go down that path then I suggest you have nothing to be proud of. After all, you didn't write the Xenix kernel, you didn't write the compiler. You're just another user, despite any false pride because you typed some words in a terminal instead of pointing and clicking.
