  I recall being at Mat-Su College (community college near Palmer
  AK) and receiving the entire printout of minix -- I believe that
  was the year of '93-'94.

  Shortly after I recall a geeky dude at the college VAX console
  with fingers flying and downloading floppy images while others
  watched in awe...

  good times, good times
