You missed all the fun we had before June of 1988.
In June of 1988, I was working with Commodore Amigas, near the beginning
of a job that I walked away from after only two years (to the day)
because it was driving me to the edge of a nervous breakdown.
Before, during, and after that (including several years into my present
almost-23-year-run with Touchtone), I worked part-time in an ice rink,
and before that, I spent six months fixing classroom desktop computers
(mostly Apple //c -- blech!) for the Los Angeles Unified School
District, and before that, I spent four and a half months, almost
straight out of college, as a "maintenance worker" (moving furniture,
helping other crafts, and in one notable case, cleaning up after a
cement truck had washed out in the parking lot at Henry Clay Jr. High --
"removing the mud from clay," I called it).
Yeah, when I first started working on AS/400s, I knew a little EBCDIC
from high school (S/370 running McGill University MUSIC, with a motley
collection of ASCII terminals going through a front-end processor),
before walking into a situation of teaching myself MI on a D02 running
V2R3 and a B20 running V2R2.
