Oh, yeeeaaaahhhh...I'd succesfully repressed _those_ memories ;-)

My introduction to Unix was a 2 hour course that basically taught me
what 'ls' did, why I didn't want to use 'mail' for e-mail, and that I
could find out how to run a program, if, of course, I already knew how,
by typing 'man <program name>'. Then I was shown a pile of disconnected
equipment:

"That's our new HP/UX database server...we need to get it running.
Here's the tapes..."

"tape drive? No we don't have a tape drive. The sales rep said you can
load the system off the network."

Not on a box with an unformatted hard drive and no boot rom, you dont!

Hey it was only a week later that I'd gotten it running ;-) Plus I only
had to completely reinstall everything twice after that to get it
running _right_!
