My personality is that of an introvert, so I tend to lurk here and "in the
real world" too (I'm the quiet one in company meetings). I think I last
posted on this list a couple of years ago (until today anyway).
For the record, since I didn't respond to the previously mentioned age
survey...I'm 42, married, got my B.Sc. in Computer Science in the 1980s,
and I have a collection of VAX and PDP-11 systems in my basement that I
power up regularily, and a random bunch of Radio-Shack, Commodore, and
early IBM-Compatibles that I power up a few times a year, as well as a
SIMH HP2000F system that I love to tinker with since it was the first
system that I ever worked on back in the 1970s.
(I'd love to have a "real" HP2000F, but I think my wife would object to
any more stuff in the basement... SIMH & TS10 are a big help there)
...and I'm currently on a Mac mini running OSX 10.4 telnetted into a SUN
system and using PINE to email this to the list!
