I played with it in high school I loved it. Of course I use Ubuntu or some off shoot for every thing but my phone.

Your phone is almost certainly a Linux offshoot. Possibly BSD.

I may have mentioned this before, but the elevators in an old 1920's office building I worked in in Toronto were controlled by a Commodore 64.
I have a former IBM colleague who still uses OS/2 Warp on a server. My high school computer lab was made up of ICON systems running QNX, which I learned Pascal on. My favourite non-Windows systems would have to be the Silicon Graphics Indy, Indigo and O2 workstations I used in college, running IRIX. The "I know this! It's a Unix system!" meme from Jurassic Park was from an IRIX system. Not surprising, since all of the CGI from the film was created on that OS. |

It's amazing that C64s still work after nearly 100 years! They don't make 'em like they used too.

Isn't the guidance system on that Voyager satellite still in use? Hackers, yeah right. More like, slackers
