The online versions with the functionality I need is 10 times as expensive on a yearly basis so I stay with the windows version. I have a virtual box with windows 8.1 for that. I am using 99% Linux but am still unable to find a legal bookkeeping software for Linux. I now have my own company and am my own IT responsible. Unix have been strong on the back-end courtesy Sun I’d say. Funny enough I have been involved in unix/linux software since then and never really touched windows software. I had a Sun workstation on my desktop until I left that job at the summer of 2000 and by then I was a total unix addict. Sun compiler collection was used for building code but initially we used the nihcl library with perhaps an early version of gnu cc that actually precompiled c++ into c and used the c-compiler making some of the C++ constructs missing. We worked with C++ development and managed our code using sccs (gnu version is calles cssc) which worked quite well. When I actually started to use the Sun stations and learned a bit I was hooked on unix and have been ever since. I even managed to be allowed to used my own computer instead of the Sun station on the C++ exam. We did have Sun-stations at the last year at school but I never liked them and I had my 386 full tower with math co processor instead. When I started this job I was a MS-DOS junkie. I was never into the graphics environment but the movement strive towards motif and some other standards as addressing unix in it self. It was cool but quite useless □Īt the time there was a standardization journey started. My college that was more into UI showed us that it was possible to define a window using postscript and did so with a round window with round borders. Totally pointless but a bit mesmerizing □ I am missing a strange spring-design-thing where you could draw strings and trigger them to move. The Xeyes was cool, just sitting there and lurking. Most common was the mail notifier with a sampled voice jelling “You got mail”. Anyway, as part of the desktop apps in the owlm environment was many of the application mentioned in the list and I have used many of them. This was before Sun branded it’s unix to Solaris and before CDE ( ) that replaced as the default desktop. We used SunOs 4 and olwm ( ) as the graphical desktop. At the time MS could muster Windows 3.1 and had not yet hit the office market like they did with windows 95. When I left school for my first job early summer -92 we all had Sun Workstations on the desktop.
