I actually have not, although the history of computing have always been an area of fascination for me. I think because I feel like I sort of "missed the boat." I was writing BASIC on TRS-80 at quite a young age (hence the moniker) but then I "grew up" and did all the things I was "supposed to do" including running a (non-tech related) business for some 20 years. Although financially successful, I was still very unhappy. At some point several years ago, I did some soul-searching resulting in making a conscious decision to get back to my natural interest in tech, and have been making up for lost time ever since.

But I agree with you. I see it exactly as I imagine it was for you early Linux guys. These people coming here complaining about specs, etc. are totally missing the point, IMO. There is so much upside potential here, that it is staggering. It feels really good to be a part of it now "this time around!" Wink
Cheers,
