Sounds like we have similar though not identical backgrounds. These days I use Windows, Mac, Linux, NetBSD every day, all day, both at home and at work. And a number of small proprietary and/or embedded systems from time to time.... and have been doing it since my Fortran days in the early 70's...

In Assembly language you tell the computer what to do.
In FORTRAN, you ask it to do things.
In COBOL, you get on your knees and beg.

Did you ever get the chance to use a DEC or a VAX ?
