Title has a typo: 'a' should be capitalized 'A'. Ah, this is near and dear to me. My first Unix was A/UX on an SE/30. My second Unix was A/UX on a Quadra 950.

Ah, this is near and dear to me. My first Unix was A/UX on an SE/30. My second Unix was A/UX on a Quadra 950. From which I naturally ran a warez site and irc bot. Gopher/Veronica/Archie were still in their heyday then, and Eudora was the GUI mail client of choice.
From there I "graduated" to IRIX and did real work. Molecular simulations and visualizations. A huge step up from the Mac hardware ...
- jfengel 7y agoIn the late 80s, Virginia Tech's CS department mandated A/UX on a Mac 2, making us incompatible with every other computer on campus. It was great having a real Unix, but since networking wasn't a big thing yet, it was still pretty isolated. (The campus had a computerized phone system that could have been adapted to networking, but it wasn't set up for it, and in fact hampered even dial-up networking because of the nonstandard phone jacks.) CS assignments were submitted on floppy disk.
