Indeed. Amigas were nice in that that you could have quite a nice
machine for a fraction of a price from, for example, one of those old
DOS monsters. Unix? No way. Well, maybe a BSD somewhere or if you had
reached a certain educational facility.

Amiga was probably the machine that got me looking more into a
filesystem and scripts and stuff (well there had been those ONFVP
encounters *shudder*).

The next step (no lack of capitalization :-) was Unix. Sorta, anyway.
Hated clumsy and backwards M$ stuff all the way.
