I count myself among the Microsoft-haters. I think I
qualify as a system
programmer, considering I can bootstrap an S/390 from the console machine
from memory in binary (or almost, it's been a few months) and bring it up
to a level where I can run channel programs.
Still not very far, but who cares, one could write usfull multi user
apps at that level in just a few K's

There's no dark secret at a CCW. Any to be honest, I wouldn't write
such a 'the computer is mine' application anymore. Waste of time
and hardware.
