One of my favorite system is weird!  It was a 280 or 480 something back in 
the 80s.  We had to use vex.  I remember that we thought it was the coolest 
thing.  That was when you had two floppy drives and about 2 or three buttons 
to turn the computer on.  That thing is still probley working today!  I 
remember we took the computer apart in school to see how the components 
worked.  Remember that is when it took two folks to carry it or maybe it is 
because we were so little.  I just remember playing that typing game where 
you hit a key before the ghost gets you.  And I remember all the commands 
just to make the computer function.  You had to do it in the exact order or 
you had to do it all over again.  I remember having to type "win" inter to 
make the windows come up.  I remember that if you wanted to spell check 
something, you had to put another flopp disk in that had the dictionary or 
part of it to get the correct word.  I liked my old dos based commands.  I 
was real disappointed when you did not have the direct  access to windows 
root comands.  I mean you can still have access but, dos was just so much 
more efficient.  Heather
