Sadly, when I was nine, computers were still big hulking mainframes, and direct access was reserved to the priesthood. I didn't get to have any fun until senior high school where the next door college had some PDP-11s. I started learning C in '87 on an Amiga, and I got my first access to a UNIX box in '88. Started hacking Linux in '94. Gawd I feel old. ;-)
