I'm pretty sure RAB's talking about DOS, as he knows what a Unix prompt looks like. But it sounds like you're stuck on archaic systems at Uni. Its not like a Commodore 64 or something, because that only means one thing - DOS games!
The flip side of this is also my first Computer Science semester.
I'd played around a bit with MS-DOS in my ongoing adventures to break and then unbreak stuff. Hadn't done much programming, played around with this 'Linux' thing that friends had shown me, but mostly a Windows kid. It was required for my degree (Engineering with Maths and Computer Science) so there was no way out.
First-Year students get stuck with a lab full of iMacs. I've been mentally scarred ever since.
To this day I swear those things are just toys for people who are happy to check email and surf the web. It like they took out the soul of an operating system and replaced it with shiny things, because you can't get past the bloody menu.
I know RAB and I have different views of Macs, and have almost come to blows on a regular basis, but it just shows you how strange this big, mostly-empty country is.
