I still remember at my cjs school c.2000 where examinations were still being done in basic/dos because “some industries are hold outs and haven’t upgraded to win2k, and probably won’t”. Some exams were done in os/2. it was pretty much a low point in my life.

after graduating with my shiny diploma and a hatred of computers, I gained employment outside of the industry.

yes, a freelancer server someone played a shitload on in the mid-late 2000s was hosted on a tricked out pentium 4 in a dude's kitchen in germany hooked directly into a T1 line.

I heard that that loving thing was rock solid too.
