My name is Andrija (aka Andy) and I retired from IT consulting in 1999. (Made a ton of money in the market bubble) But now things are getting lean and its time for me to catch up with all the new tech stuff I missed in the past 7 years.
I worked with the Multi-Value Database (aka Pick OS/DB) and have all my old applications that need a face-lift (GUI) and move into Open Source. I have a copy of the D3 Multi-Value Database still in the box that needs Linux installed.
So, that's why I'm here. I've been told that Linux now has a GUI front end and there are a lot of open-source desktop apps available.
My background goes back to IBM Unit Record Equipment and the first computer I used was a IBM 1401, in the early 60's. Then on to 360, 370 Sys/3 COBOL, RPG, Assmebler, Fortran. Worked with the old style client/server mainframe systems. Introduced to the MultiValue Database (Pick OS/DB) in early 80's and fell in love. Stayed in the MultiValue arena until I retired. I was able to avoid learning Unix AX etc until now. From what I've been told its a fun OS to work with. I'm looking forward to learning Linux
