Unix has always fascinated me. I was hired to be a Unix communications programmer in 1986. I taught myself C, learned the X.25 protocol, HDLC, the seven layer ISO model and started struggling with the bourne shell.

What stuck with me through all the years and versions and languages and floppy disks is the incredible versatility of Unix.

This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
