Cool... the problem with this kind of thing is...
when you forget to take it off your resume. A couple jobs back, ~8 years or so, I neglected to scrape RMX and ISIS off the trailing end of my resume. I had hired on as a contractor with flexible duties, and wouldn't you know, every time there was a problem with the legacy RMX stuff, I got to handle it.
There's a lot of stuff that was kinda fun at the time, made you feel shit hot at the time, but you really wouldn't want to have to do it again. For the record, I *HATED* paper tape and Hollorith (sp?) cards.
I threw away the S-100 Z80 machine I built about 10 years ago. Didn't even have a hard drive... imagine...
More recently, I pitched my 8 inch floppies, then the 5 1/4 ones.
I don't really think that the good old days were good enough to go back to. The fine parts are nice to dwell upon, but most of the experience is better forgotten... (picking through core dumps, brain dead monitor programs, editors that made vi look intuitive... the list can be ghastly.) On the other paw, if this is a version of "mine's bigger than yours", on with the games!
Regards,
Hugh
