 sc> Hi there. I'm scarface from New Zealand. I'm pretty new to BBS's, mainly

 sc> message board a bit and thought I should take the time to introduce
 sc> myself.

Welcome :)

 sc> I'm a child of the late 80's, brought up with a mix of DOS, Debian, and

 sc> computers ever since, but always know there is heaps more out there to
 sc> learn.

That's cool.
I grew up in the 80s & 90s and mostly used DOS and Windows (starting with 3.0), and it went from there.  My schools also had Apple 2 and Macintosh computers, so I was familiar with those too.  I was also curious about Amiga computers but had only seen them in a couple places when I was growing up.

 sc> I'm probably a bit younger than the average age, but is nice to see there
 sc> are even younger folks getting engaged with this sort of technology. I
 sc> worry sometimes about the direction of the software industry. I'm not so
 sc> sure it is always going forward haha.

I'm a software engineer, and lately I've been hearing people who are worried that AI might take people's jobs.  I'm not sure if that will happen, or to what extent, but I'm hoping it won't have much of a negative impact on the job market.
