Like any age it depends a bit on your circumstances whether you enjoyed the 1990s. I miss the tech squabbling of windows vs everybody else. It was interesting in a way the boring tech stack stuff now never can be, because you had companies setting out to destroy each other. I had a fat Sun workstation on my desk, a crisp white shirt, a decent suit, an expense account and the freedom to have a long friday lunch (as long as you took the support microtac and a beeper with you): it was bliss. A boozy long lunch outside at a restaurant in the Sydney sun with a tight bunch of colleagues is mighty hard to beat. Of course it helps that none of us had family responsibilities, were getting paid bonkers money and had an understanding boss (Hi Uncle Pete, still the best boss I ever had).
