I was a heavy UNIX user throughout the 1990s, back when powerful RISC UNIX workstations roamed the Earth. SGI Octanes, Sun Ultras, DEC Alphastations… all absurdly expensive and built for science, engineering, and development work. These workstations used RISC processors (because RISC was the future!) and cost a small fortune. God, they were powerful. And on many of them, I installed Linux (basically open source UNIX).
