Hi Shaun, you were lucky. In my day Windows didn't exist. At least not on the IBM platform. There was the X-Windows system for Unix servers, but on IBM systems we had good old MS Dos. Since my parents couldn't afford an IBM we had an Apple A2-J running Apple Works. I still remember how primitive the Apple Works os was. you inserted this big 5.25 inch floppy disk into the drive, and from the command prompt you used the run command to launch programs on the disk. If memory serves me correctly edit opened text files the same way it does on MS Dos. Great for doing homework, playing some games like Orig an Trail, etc but crap compared to what kids run today. I didn't get an IBM until 1993 or so and by then the IBM i386 systems were out with Windows 3.1 and MS Dos 6.x. That was a major leap forward in technology for me, but still ain't nothing to write home about compared to this laptop I am using right now.
