started wire wrapped s-100 system, 1n 1976 had a full 2k of 8bit memory
with a boot strap that I loaded with switches that then loaded a monitor
from a cassette tape. that gave a chance to enter my code in hex, that i
wrote out on paper, then saved it to cassette tape. That was my first OS.
Then there was exidy OS with rom packs for applications.
finally cpm with c code so could expand.
small c then pascal, then C#.
then a got a 5 1/4 drive with i86 board that mounted on it and got
compiled cpm for it. I really wanted an Apple. Closest I got was an amiga.
got Dos to work then windows 1.3
worked for a lot of early computer manufactures including apple and
commodore.
still have pascal with the source code, so if and when Java goes
commercial, I will revert all code to pascal and Ai.

That's why I still use DOS. You can learn everything there is to know about it
in a few weeks, and I got that out of the way nearly two decades ago. I'm a
happy camper.
