There are many of us. Some, such as myself, started with S/360 and became multi-platform capable, even before PCs were forced on just about everyone. But we had libre software back before HASP or TSO--that was a huge component of what SHARE shared. Having machine- readble OS and product source code permitted great advancements beyond what IBMers were producing, and a lot of that was going on in university settings as well as large organizations. -- <not cent from sell> May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
