I still must get used to job control (^Z, fg, bg).  The Minix system
where I initially gained my unix experience didn't have it.  Oh, those
were the times...

The systems at the university were much worse: a Amdahl Unix emulation
running under CM/VMS (or was it CMS?) on IBM mainframes, used via
TN3270 emulation on PCs.
