No, I jumped right into Linux, with SuSE 10.0, in 2005. I tried Debian briefly, but soon found I liked SuSE better. Noticed your mention of trs-80. My first desk top was a TI-99. I could say more, but it would probably be best to move to the OT (off topic) list if we're gonna get too carried away with history. And I haven't subscribed to that yet. I too have found this list very helpful.
