The first disk OS I used
was not suprisingly CP/M. And yet I find unix much nicer than, say, RT11
of VMS. The first assembly language I learnt was Z80 (and SC/MP at about
the same time), but I find 6809 and PDP11 assembly to be a lot more pleasant.
Some could argue that our preference for "obsolete" electronic technology
is a manifestation of a "baby duck syndrome".
