I’m 5 years older than James and had a similar discovery and enthusiasm path which got lost in the era commercial big modern systems. The soul of the machine has long since disappeared.

There was a brief period when I discovered BeOS 4.5 which brought the wonder back in September 1999. That was short lived. I occassionally get the bug with Haiku but sadly dont have the spare time during this last decade.

Enthusiast on small platforms still chase the bug, in these smaller communities you can actually make a difference, and there is still passion to be found there. There is also some innovation since experimental concepts can be tried out.
