    "It goes on forever, and oh my God, it's full of operating systems!"
    VMS
    OS/2
    CP/M
    Vic-20 & C=64 (I'll put them on the same line for argument's sake)
    AmigaDOS
    Unix in several of its myriad variants (SCO, VXWorks, SunOS, Solaris, DOMAIN, HP/UX, Mac/BSD*, blah, blah, blah)
    Unix-esque router/appliance OSen (e.g., IOS)
    Linux in all its myriad variants (Red Hat, Ubuntu, Slackware, Debian, etc., etc.)
    Netware (2.x and 3.x -- and if you think those are close to the same, well...no)
    DOS (and variants, such as FreeDOS and Dr. DOS)
    Winders (DOS-based)
    Winders (non-DOS based)
    Apple II
    Mac (pre-Unix)
    BeOS
    MVS
    AtariDOS
    Whatever the heck ran on the 6502-driven Commodore 1541 and 1571 floppy disk drives
    Various forms of embedded Hell (mostly on miscellaneous telecom switches and PBXes)
    PICK OS
    Emacs (This line's a joke. I think.)
    Whatever else it is I'm forgetting from, like, 1987. For example, does the fact that I ran BASIC on an Atari 2600 count? Probably not. Likewise, the fact that I've gotten console from various devices that the creators of which really rather wish I hadn't.
