... and had taken their entry-level jobs catching up on the work that was being done. The youngest boomers were still looking forward to taking the training wheels off their tricycles.

I didn't miss the Mac or Windows at all. The Mac runs a GUI over a version of Unix. As I noted in my first reply post, that's technology founded on work that was extensively done in the 70s -- the GUI mostly at PARC! Hell, I was privy to work done there that neither the Mac nor Microshit has even gotten close to. It was NOT "work done by the boomers." The boomers were involved in the follow-on development, but they stood on the shoulders of giants in the craft.
