Since the start of my technology career, ad just off the top of my head,
these are all the technologies that have been **must have** that have
come and gone so far. I list them as an educational service so that
you can get a longer view of things. In the end, a decent editor, a
unix shell and a c compiler continue to be, and will continue to be, you
best IT weapons for your careers.
