After DOS and Desqview. I tried OS/2 for a time. Up until I seen some
pending development limitations pending. Then switched over to Slackware
and MBSE. Eventually changing over to Ubuntu and BBBS.

Done the 'all-nighter' thing a number of times. Including setting up BBBS
for the first time. I guess I am one of those types that once I start a
task I don't like stopping till it's running and I am satisfied.
