I went there as a spectator. Some of the computers I have used when
I started this whole career journey, and others that I heard about, or
were influential in other ways.

For example there was a PDP 11/40, which is close to the computer that
UNIX was created on, and Linux is a free clone of UNIX, and now my phone
and this laptop that I am using now run Linux ...

There were others working on stuff, and several computers were running
a BASIC prompt.
