alt Hacker NewsI had never heard this name until now, but I owe Dr. Tim King a significant part of my career. Never having been a DOS user, AmigaDOS was my gateway drug to the command line interface, and to me learning the Linux CLI a few years later.
Thank you, Dr. King!
In 85 dad used a 680x0 Apollo workstation for CAD, and wanted something comparable to use at home. Between the Amiga and getting Levy's Hackers a few years later, the die was cast.
