	 Well, the bits of my history and preferences that brought me here
	___________________________________________________________________

	Let's have a whistle-stop tour of my computer usage starting at
	home way back at the beginning (yes, this will date me!) and an
	uncommon first: Commodore 128. So you can probably guess the next
	one: Amiga 500. Both of these rarely saw any games played on them.
	They were far more usefulv and interesting as general computers
	with accessible programming.

	Next came the inevitable PC compatible in the form of a gifted
	486DX4  that was a few years old. It came in a very compact but
	drive-friendly desktop case. This ran DOS6 and WFWG3.11 almost
	until retirement and was also my first internet connected computer
	when I purchased an external modem for it when I took it to
	university with me.

	At university, almost everything was, or interacted with, something
	I had experienced and was curious about but had no great exposure
	to: UNIX. Workstations ran Solaris 7 and servers ran a variety of
	SunOS, Digital UNIX and DEC OSF/1, and some lingering SCO UNIX. My
	UI of choice was initially CDE and then FVWM2. This change occurred
	because the 486 eventually got an upgrade to Linux.

	And here I have stayed running Linux on commodity PC hardwre.
	Workplaces still expose me to far too much MS Windows than is
	acceptable.
