Old habits die hard

[rare_j]

Only recently I requested a colleague of mine edit the startup-sequence of a SuSE Linux box to include a program I'd been installing. Needless to say I was met with a blank stare.

Sometimes if I'm looking for pictures on my windows box I do a search for *.iff.

Occasionally if a unix box is giving me grief it's hard to resist trying an avail flush.

What old amiga habits do you find hard to shake off in your IT work?

Forgetting that I cannot have windows overlapping if I want to see the content in one while I type in the one behind it.

I know there is a patch that can change the behaviour in Windows (of window::raiseOnClick()), but I cannot install them on the systems at work or Uni., so...  :-(


Pressing the right mouse button to cancel a left button drag.


There are others, but in my current mental state I can only think of features that I miss, and I'm pretty sure that thread has been done to death (but, who's to say resurrection is such a bad thing?). :-D

Using forward slashes is the biggest one - though this is a combination of using AmigaDOS, OSX and Linux which all use forward slashes. Using AmigaDOS or POSIX commands or syntax in a Windows command prompt is another common error.

Right-Amiga and C or V to copy or paste text - only that I'm pressing the right Windows key in this case ^^
