I envy you for your Apple, I never had one of my own.

IMHO, Some of these so called "tech schools" are a blight on the industry. The fact that they can pump out more paper certifications in a month, than the corporations can create jobs is mind boggling.

I have even seen many Ads from schools offering Cisco, M$, Novel etc. certification training; in which they offer to write the exam for an additional $300. US. Thus a University Degree (in any field) is a great benefit.

Most of the games I played came in the Computer Gazette, which gave me my introduction to Assembly. I forget most of the games, as I was more into the "learning to program" thing.

Ahh! I still remember my first Trident video card and the performance boost I gained when I increased it's Ram from 256k - 512k. Mind you, modems were peaking at 4800 then too.

I also remember when Remote Access was a BBS software.

Linux? I fooled with LRP before Cisco brought out their 800 series and I know what a manpage is, but that's about it. Maybe if my Windows stops blowing up all on it's own, I may take the time to check it out.
