A Computing Era gone by...

Being a 90s person, mine was one of the first generation adopters of intuitive Graphical User Interfaces. It took me 18 years to properly lose my Unix virginity. It not only brought a plethora of hacking skills, but also a deep appreciation of our rich computer heritage. Computer Science is the best thing to happen to the world in the last century. Turing had a hunch - to replace the scores of women ‘computers’ calculating away during the World Wars, with a hypothetical machine that follows instructions and operates on data - continuously maintaining one of its several states.

We have come a long way since. The Computer History Museum does an awesome job at preserving the heroics of the people who contrived contraptions that made life easier.

Microsoft dominated the Unix market with its licensed platform - Xenix. DOS is heavily inspired by Unix. But then they split ways.

Much more to be added in this post. Keep looking for the buzz.
