I loved computers back then. Now they're just tools. Preach it brother. I lived through Windows v. *nix (several versions), z80 v 6502, ethernet v. token ring, packet switching v. circuit switching, and a ton of others[1], and was usually a partisan on one side or the other. Now...it's either 'what works easiest' or 'what does the client want' and I make it work for me. This lack of participation in partisan conflict has made most everything go smoother. And vintage computing allows me to get my "remember how much fun it once was" fix. [1] Yes, even vi v. emacs, but even 30 years ago that had become more of an inside joke than actual debate. Besides, those emacs heretics will never find the One True Way.
