My start was with IBM 3090 mainframes, DEC Vax Systems, and several other mid-range systems.  Then went to AS/400, Digital MicroVax, and lots of data communications with all the above.  I even set up an early Token-Ring network using the AS/400 as the server with IBM PCs.

After that, it was all Netware, Citrix and Groupwise email systems.  Then eventually into firewalls and data networking, and have plenty of knowledge on VMware as well.  These days I design, engineer, and lead a team supporting large enterprise networks.  Each step of the way has been very fun, and never a dull moment.
