And the new guys on the block, the computer illiterate stuffed shirt, let's
follow Big Blue like lemmings unto the sea, PS/2 types *STILL* don't know
what multi-tasking is! :-)

Ya mean like back in '78 when I built my own 8080 CPU board and threw it
in a home brew S-100 box with a couple of Bill Godbout's 4K memory boards,
a Micro-Angelo, and a Tarbell floppy controller and ran it with Northstar
DOS?  Is that what ya mean by battle scarred?  I ruined so many pairs of
pants with molten solder that year that I would have gotten out cheaper
paying somebody else to build the boards for me. :-)
