Well, that's funny, cause I got my first comp (an Schneider EuroPC with an 8088 CPU and as much as 512kB RAM, no HDD and a nice looking Monochrome Monitor with something 10" size) with 20, advanced to 486 about two years later, tried that Linux on a version of 0.90 and now I am 27 using W2k mainly (well there _is_ a problem with that shortage of programs for Unix-OS's) and still try that Linux now and then. Hehe, what a change since 0.90. And since last year, I'm taking a look on GNU/HURD. That makes an average of 7 years. I actually started the interest on computer with about 14, doing some BASIC on a KC85/3 or a KC87 in Theory, as I couldn't afford one at that time. ;) Henning
