Wow that's pretty cool! I first found out I had some virus when I was hex editing my boot/root floppy disks for Linux back in 92? I'd just compiled a kernel and forgot to set the root to the hard disk, swapped disks around and found some bootsector thing that I can't remember at the time. It was initially mystifying how it read okay in DOS, as the virus could hide, but on Linux is where it was laid bare.

Pretty cool how you made such a massive leap! Talk about making lemonade!

If you would have asked me in high school what I wanted to do for a career, it had absolutely nothing to do with computing, even though I grew up tweens onward around computers. The opportunities were interesting to me, and as things progressed, I went along with it.

I've been lucky enough that I am currently in early retirement, 15 years before traditional retirement. I still do a lot of what I did work-wise, but as hobby now.
