Several posters are still using it.

I remember a client, who while looking over my shoulder as
I worked on his design project said "Hey! Your running Windows"

I could hear my Mac cry.

I remember that my parents went right out and got an Aptiva. It was so expensive that we had to wait until it was paid off to get the internet.

I remember booting up Windows 3.1 on my first computer. That was the ****.

My very first computer was DOS based. I was about 4 or so when we got it in 1986-7. I vaguely remember having to type in commands to pull up the list of games. Played a lot of 3-Demon, The Black Cauldron and Karateka. I think we also had Jeopardy and some Chicago Bulls basketball game that my brother was always playing.

I remember those days. That scheme - while virtually groundbreaking at the time - is garish by today's standards.

There was a good version of Acquire available for DOS.

I didn't change to Windows as an OS until Win98. I didn't love it, but it worked fairly well.

There has been a lot of defense of Ballmer in the last few days, but clearly the crap that MS did under his watch, he deserves scorn.

Virtually groundbreaking?

Apple was already on System 7 in 1992.

First computer I used was an IBM 704 circa 1964. Used in a class on FORTRAN IV. In 1967 I was writing software for the Apollo space program on an IBM S360-65.

I never learned to wire boards for unit record equipment even though they were still around.
