@shrub900@mastodon.social I'm admittedly jealous b/c you had access to a #POSIX system (& a #FOSS one too!) from your earliest computer-using time in life. I “wasted”¹ my teenage years with a Commodore 64² — writing in BASIC & 6502 assembler. I was ≈ 18 years old before I got access to a “real” computer running #Unix SYSVR3.2.3 & ported #GNU #Emacs to it. ¹ I learned useful skills, but it yielded no useful artifacts. ² Yes, @cwebber@social.coop, I *was* keeping up with #Commodore, but it was *not* keeping up with me!!
