Yeah, there are very few of us that completely skipped MS-DOS/MS-Windows/MacOS-Clasic and *never* used a graphical file manager or any of the eye-candy that people now believe is "standard" or "normal". I went from VMS on a VT<whatever> to a VAXStation 2000 to a VAXStation 3000, to DECStation 5000, to Linux, with some time spent on CP/M-68K and OS-9/68000, as well as SunOS, IRIX, etc. *I* have never owned a machine running any verison of MS-Windows (I did have a box that dual booted MS-DOS and Linux).
VTs? How about a VAX 11/782 with two LA120s, one per CPU. :-)
There were advantages in hardcopy consoles when dealing with system crashes or boot problems.
I did use a LA120 on a PDP-15...
Oh, I will confess to once owning W95 and W98 machines, but I do remember finally issuing the command "# rm -r /C".
