Heh, _fine_.  Many will be surprised (or, seeing my line-up of OSS games,
maybe not!) that I went through getting a CS degree in college with only
an Atari (and, well, also an IBM PS/2 from around the same era!)

I used the school's Unix systems and Macs for classes and my own stuff,
and used the PC to both dial in to the Unix server from home, as well as
act as the disk drive for my Atari.  And I wrote games and did other
'interesting stuff' (like graphics coding) as best I could on the Atari.

So even when Win95 was the 'big new thing,' I steered clear from Wintel ;)


We're getting pretty OT here. Sorry ;)
