Thanks for sharing! And glad to hear you are still using Slackware! (which still seems to have drivers for just about everything!) If you recall, where did you purchase your Slackware and BSD disk sets? I recall Micro Center and Fry's Electronics both sold some Linux and BSD distributions on DVDs but I never saw too many folks buying them (then again, this was circa 2010). And that's a great comment about the return policy! I'm curious when the law was changed (unless it was a per-state thing, assuming you are from/in the US).

Also with regards to UUCP, it appears there are some modern uses for it [0]. I have no perspective with regards to UUCP but from someone who used it (if it doesn't bring back painful memories), do you recall what you used it for or what using it was like? Essentially email + USENET newsgroups + FTP wrapped into one protocol?
