<yawn>

Mine was a Commodore PET (VIC 20 precursor), while I worked with PDP-11 and CDC Cyber machines on the side .. you don't speak for a generation and you could use some manners.




> while I worked with PDP-11

One of the few things in life I really feel depressed about, is never getting the opportunity to work with one of those.

> you don't speak for a generation

I speak only for my self, and in this thread only of my own direct experiences.

My experiences from working with some really extraordinary people (hackers, editors, adventurers) is that they are often anything but nice on the surface. When you speak, you can speak to please, or you can be honest. You can be dull, or you can use rhetoric to spice up your points. Personally, I find dishonest people despicable and dull people boring ;)
