Strange new worlds, and programming languages…: Good bye Microsoft; Pete has now left the building!

In 1991, I installed Windows 3 on my desktop PC at work. Work at the time was indentured servitude at a construction company in my home town where they massively underpaid a naïve but talented guy (me) a measly 4 grand a year to write Progress applications and maintain Cobol stuff on an ageing mainframe. As I recall, I had more disk space, processor and memory on the Amiga in my bedroom at the time than the mainframe had.

Another of Microsoft’s faithful leaves for a life of Macs and Linux.
