    I absolutely still remember my grandfather having a dual 5.25” IBM and teaching my 6-7 yo self how to use the cli. I still remember that MSDOS 2.0 box he had up on his shelf, and how he taught me to keep a simple text file of the prices of my baseball cards, according to the legendary Beckett price guide.

    I then later vaguely messing around with 3.11 followed by 95+, but the basis of my mediocre understanding of the cli was due to my grandfather teaching me on DOS 2.0.

    One of the ladders aboard my carrier that led down to DC Central was a bit steeper than that. The first time most people saw it, they couldn’t believe how close to an ordinary vertical ladder it was.

    To add to the chaos, the handrails on either side were way too far apart to use with both hands. And as if that wasn’t enough of nightmare, and a scuttle right above it that I had to pass through with my duty belt on. Carriers are death traps, and should qualify a sailor for HDIP.
