Honestly, I didn't. When they became popular I was an MVS systems programmer for a retail company and wrote a lot of code for the mainframe. By the time I got home from work, all I wanted to do was to veg-out in front of the TV. Sometimes I drank. But I definitely didn't want to write any more code. My first interest outside my work field was with Unix. After AT&T 'released' the Unix O/S for public use, I started playing with a clone SCO/XENIX. Then, the IBM/PC became popular and Linux came along soon thereafter. Am I still allowed to call myself a 'nerd', even though I never owned a Commodore 64? Have I been living a lie?Be honest, you owned a Commodore 64 too,didn't you.
