    My first taste of a unixy OS. My dad's 286 dual booted, MS-DOS or Xenix. There was that strange edition program called vi that you almost had to invoke a demon to get out. I had a note with some esoteric commands for vi.

      I was given a photocopied “cheat” sheet of commands from a Bell Labs systems manual. Only later in university did I learn that w and q could be strung together in sequence.

      Mine too, along with a UNIX shell Internet account.
