what kind of research ? was it computing related or something really different ?

I'm quite shocked

I'm not 20 something either, I'm not chasing new shiny.. but a simple history access (arrows or search) is not an invasive disruptive toy feature..

alas

biomedical research, but the person I was helping "had written a kernel disk driver for VAX BSD back in the 80s" and I think they wanted things to more or less stay the same as BSD in the 80s. Which, as far as wishes go, isn't terrible.

yeah I guess he earned the right to have his ways :)
