hah, when my grandmother wished to get a computer (she was a volunteer secretary in a few organizations doing a lot of typing on a mechanical typewriter until then) grandpa sent me out to get it, and i chose some decent machine for the time and put OS/2 on it (and LaTeX). meanwhile i had linux on my own machine, and when the opportunity arose i used my student status to buy a discounted copy of OpenStep for the PC. a few years later i got my hands on a NeXT cube and a few slabs from a university auctioning off old equipment ;-)
