I learned Unix on a DEC MicroVax II running Ultrix.  I actually had to 
partition the drives by using a Sector creation tool, and specifying the 
start and stop block numbers.  1200 baud was all that was available 
until the 9600 baud modems came down in price from the sky.  I still 
remember being wooed by the DEC Developers at a Conference here in 
Pittsburgh, I was the only attendee that wanted to learn more about 
Ultrix, I was already a VAX/VMS Administrator.

And don't get me started about the days on the 300 baud Teletype we used 
for the Timeshare service we had when I was in High School. ..... 
Perhaps another time.

That's the only way we get to keep our choices.  Btw, at any given time 
I have at least 12 windows open at a time and more often than than this 
is a low estimate.  I Love X Windows!
