23:1523:15, 19 August 2021 diff hist +454 N User:Bsdimp ←Created page with 'I've been using computers since the 1970s when I started using RSTS/e on a PDP-11/23+ with a 300-baud modem and a printing terminal. My first computer was the DEC Rainbow which I've owned since 1983. I have recently started to accumulate articles about the Rainbow from contemporary sources (newsletters, trade press, etc). In addition, I've been collecting history of unix articles from original sources. Professionally, I hack on the FreeBSD kernel.' current
