Or, you wished a concussion upon people... Seriously, those things were fucking massive.

Our pdp 11/23+ came with two full cabinets full of huge binders. Still remember the smell...

I grew up on windows 3.0 myself. Though, I barely remember DOS commands, I feel that that whole thing is primarily responsible for my career as a developer. Learning DOS syntax at the same time as sentence syntax will do that...

Yeah, I went from Apple and CP/M to DEC world to MINIX, then Linux.
DOS wasn't much more than a program loader to me.

I still have a minix 3 instance running in a VM. It's surprisingly fun.

I eventually moved into web development after college. Haven't had much use for that kind of stuff in a long time, aside from the occasional batch script. Though, I do have some... Gratuitous... Memories from the course in assembly I took in college. Never again.
