At 14/15, I was interlibrary-loan-ing the AT&T SysV UNIX manuals that
I could get my hands on, and tweaking my Atari ST to make it more
UNIX-like.  

I didnt get my first UNIX box until college at age 18... and for a year
before that I was a VMS hacker.  I still have a soft spot for DEC
equipment.

mm.  STUBRADFOWC at MERCUR.USAO.EDU.  VMS 5-5.2 with Multinet.  Anybody
else remember the "yoyodyne.com" and "bigboote at yoyodyne.com" examples
in the Multinet manuals?  I was the only one who "got" it, in our 
entire department.. and they thought I was funny because I was laughing
while reading a *manual*...
