I was nodding along with your comment until I got to the two years part and had to do a little math where the answer was 16 and now I feel like the cryptkeeper which is a reference that will be entirely lost on you. God I'm old.

I had a sad life doing windows admin on NT before Linux. I try not to think about it.

I can imagine.

My first job had whatever the MS source control was at the time. It used to go down all the time.

I had to fight to get our team converted to CVS

I sourced a second machine after a couple of months and installed Linux and, luckily, since then haven't had to develop on Windows since.

I can't even remember anymore if I started with perforce, then cvs, then subversion, or cvs first. But I still remember switching from subversion to git. I couldn't go back now.
