I started off on microcomputers, but once I was in college the
multi-user systems were so much more fun - poking around places you
shouldn't, learning about the system, sending messages to other users
online, and compiling programs a helluva lot faster than on a PC. The
computer rooms were a social gathering place, people could share ideas
and pitch in for bad coffee.
That was cool for a while, then Turbo C came out and everyone went back
to coding in their rooms. The coffee was definitely better there...
