   After DOS and Desqview. I tried OS/2 for a time. Up until I seen some pending   
   development limitations pending. Then switched over to Slackware and MBSE.   
   Eventually changing over to Ubuntu and BBBS.

   Done the 'all-nighter' thing a number of times. Including setting up BBBS for   
   the first time. I guess I am one of those types that once I start a task I   
   don't like stopping till it's running and I am satisfied.
