I feel I was lucky because I learned computing on a QNX system in High School. The people a year younger than myself ended up learning Turing on early Windows systems. I couldn't understand why Windows on a more powerful machine was so featureless and had lousy graphics in comparison to the "lesser" QNX terminals I learned on. Also, it seemed unreasonable that QNX could be contained on a single floppy diskette, but you couldn't come close to running a single floppy Windows instance, and DOS was totally braindead in comparison to QNX's command line. Needless to say when Minix and then Linux came around, I was fully on board.
