My first Dos was what I got with the Luggable Sanyo, there I remembered the

Early on I would give a computer to one of my kids when I wanted to buy
another. When they all had computers I started to keep them. When I got
broadband I then bought a router to share it with all the computers which
had the additional benefit of networking them as well.

Sometimes that happens. I never heard of Goldmine. Was that a graphics or
draw program, if I recall you were responding to the MAV vs PC for graphics.
