I may just load a Linux OS. I've used everything from PCs to DEC from PDP-11 all the way up to VAX mainframes, IBM 360s and Crays. This was all for various electromagnetic design problems. I can always figure out an OS. They are, after all, logically arranged. Just another command structure naming thing to memorize. I use Microsoft VISIO for mechanical design (got it under license a long time ago), but I use Open Office for the rest- WP, spreadsheets, etc.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
