Hey Kees!

 KvE> moved to Slackware when the discs from Walnut-Creek became
 KvE> avalable.

I bought two CD sets from them way back when; 3.4 and 3.5 which had a live boot
CD.  That was the first live CD I ever saw.  I still have them but don't know
if they still work given the lack of a CD ROM around here.

 KvE> If your past is in UCB-Unix

I started out with Solaris on an old Sparc station way back when.  My original
computer experience was with VAX/VMS on a mainframe with 9 track tape drives
for IO.  No CD ROMs back in those days but the Sparc station had both external
SCSI tape and hard drives at it's disposal. Also a whopping 42M of RAM if I am
not mistaken which back then was worthy of bragging about.

Those were the days eh?  To be quite honest I don't miss any of it but can
appreciate the experience especially when dealing with more modern hardware.

Life is good,
Maurice
