Same applies to me.

I started coding on a Timex 2068.

So buying tools was the only legal option. Well, we could also type them from books and magazines.

Eventually I became a bit of FOSS zealot with the rise of GNU/Linux.

However, after a few years and head bumps, I came to realise that I care more about cool technology than being religious about FOSS.
