OK.

I kept my CP/M box right through the MS-DOS days, because the former did 
everything I wanted (WordStar, Multiplan, C, Pascal, Telcom, etc).

When Windows became popular I started using Unix at home (was running it 
at work for ages before that) because the Windows drive provided the 
impetus for cheap Unix platforms, and still kept the CP/M box.

I laughed every time I heard of someone copping the latest virus.

I got my first Mac just a few years ago, and still run Unix at home as 
well; I've never run Windoze, and I have no idea where my CP/M boxes (I 
had several) are now...
