[1] Got it when RIT was getting rid of their sun 3s. I asked my buddy
to snag me a 3/80, not realizing that a 3/60 or 3/50 would've been much
easier to run for me.  No OS media =(
[2] Although I just got the 2nd SM51, so techinically "none" =)
[3] Don't know the make.  And it was "superuser" not root... Someone with
superuser privelges left themselves logged in.  Got into trouble on that one...
What can I say, I was young and stupid.
[4] Machine I'm doing this email on right now...
[5] Although at the same time I used whatever flavor of UNIX Cetia workstations
used... I wasn't aware of what flavors there were back then.
[6] Although I may have "used" the net as early as '83, if sending an email
to Australia from a Data General system counts as using the net.  I don't know
if it was the "net" or what.  I was 11 at the time, I was just impressed I
talked to a guy in Australia.
