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.
