I/O psychologist (I help organizations select and develop managers and executives), 56, married, two soccer-playing and bright kids, sing when I can, which is unfortunately seldom, go kayaking when I can, live in the best place in the world even though it means a 2-hour commute by ferry to work, first machine I ever saw was an IBM 1620 (in 1962 -- it was a pretty hot machine then), got to play with one a few years later, writing octal machine language programs on punch cards (anyone following UserFriendly? I could have been Sid), graduated to punched paper tape on a PDP-8, but never really got into serious coding though I worked as an operator for a while. Got into PCs in the early 80s, not focusing on them but using them all the same. I grabbed OS/2 when Warp came out -- always had an aversion to M$ -- and hung onto that until a little after slink came out; then I made the switch to Debian, though I had considered BSD (before I got into OS/2, which I still like), and also Slackware, which looked like too much work.
