After DOS and Desqview. I tried OS/2 for a time. Up until I seen some pending 
development limitations pending. Then switched over to Slackware and MBSE. 
Eventually changing over to Ubuntu and BBBS.

Done the 'all-nighter' thing a number of times. Including setting up BBBS for 
the first time. I guess I am one of those types that once I start a task I 
don't like stopping till it's running and I am satisfied.
