Hmm.  Circa 1988 is when I first became a UNIX admin (in those days
even junior guys got a lot to do).  Had been a mainframe and UNIX
luser before that.  One of the advantages of being in the military was
that they were always early adopters.  And those with systems
abilities just got grabbed up from whatever they were doing to feed
and water the systems.  I put together my first fiber-optic network (a
single-mode LAN) back in 1993/1994 time-frame.  No one but the
military could afford it then.

Ciao,
