    If you think vi is great and perl is one of the best languages then you
have definitely gone over to the dark side.

I thought I was good with DOS.



Peak achievement: disassembling a device driver for HD, finding

one (1) bad byte, and reassembling it so that it would work

with DOS 2.  I was also pretty proud of linking some

graphics ASM from one source into FORTRAN for some Navy folks.



I stayed in DOS as long as I could stand.  I had to switch

to W95 eventually.



DOS is like a backyard garden plot.



linux is like a tropical rainforest filled with poisonous

critters.



Did I mention that I said for the first time in my life

yesterday, "I love linux"?  I never thought those words

would come to mind.  I've been playing with linux for

a couple of years on obsolete PCs.  Configuring linux

for one user (me) doesn't show what it can do.  I can

get it set up for me in a half-hour or forty-five

minutes.  Setting up a server that anyone can use from

all around the world is a different kettle of fish,

especially working from a remote terminal.



The neat thing about climbing the learning curve

is the view you get as you go up.  :o)
