I am an Information systems Engineer with 5 years enterprise experience

I started programming in 1975.

I took the company, that I still work for, from having two stand-alone 8088s to the seventh-generation network of P4s they are running today.

Your take on this next OS is right on the money. Do not let any computer geek snob try to intimidate you into thinking any differently.

My respects.

I started programming in 1975.

Hollerith cards and tape-in tape-out. Writing Assembler code to create things that don't exist yet. And when P0 came along , man what a relief.

You got me -- I started on mainframes with BAL and didn't get into the smaller systems until we have Z80 processors (I know, I was spoiled).
