I do enjoy reading all these discussion posts. Really makes me realize just how much of a dinosaur I am, though.

I was happy as a clam back in the dark old days of DOS (particularly since DOS was such an improvement over what things were like before the introduction of IBM-compatible fixed-disk systems (although, I admit, dealing with RS-232 did make me REALLY crabby). The advent of GUIs and HCI development is what killed my interest in understanding how computers work. Maybe it's not so bad with other platforms, but WIN's hijack of my ability to control my system and peripherals in a straightforward manner is a real turn-off for me.

I understand why things had to change, and I know overall it's for the best, but the fun has all gone out of it for me. Now my computer is just another tool that I hope doesn't break, which is kinda sad.
