Very well said.
I find it very sad that people need to validate themselves in this way. I'm immersed in "tech" all day long at work and have no time for it when I get home, there's too much meaning beyond the screen for me to bother with it there. Occasionally I'll browse around for fun or learning, but the notion of wanting to go back and see my daily life from 20 years ago (were that possible) bores than it appals. Give me a game of backyard cricket with the kids or a beer with mates over a barbie anytime - *that* has meaning that one will have no trouble remembering.
cheers

OSS has been around since early mainframe OSes, some of which pre-date Unix and were delivered in source form as long as you bought the (VERY EXPENSIVE) hardware. This then led to things like the CBT tape and the MVS Turnkey system , which is a CD-ROM now available from which you can IPL your own copy of MVS 3.8.
