Question:
From historical recounts of winamp, it seems you started development life on unix before learning Win32. How did that occur? Why did you start on unix?

Reply on October 11 2014, 7:02pm:
I did BASIC on the Atari 8-bit, then didn't program much for some years until I had a 386sx and Turbo Pascal, which was awesome, then Turbo C++, then eventually Watcom C++, then djgpp, around that time I also got an early distribution of slackware (on floppies!), which was fun and was a much better experience than Windows 3.1 (hooray, memory protection and preemptive multitasking). I was still programming stuff on djggp and linux (and sunos once I had access to sparcstations in school), when Windows 95 was released, and it took a while after that before I had good enough hardware to use it. Then there was the task of learning win32, Winamp ended up being a good project to do that with.
