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. ========================= BJ Freeman Strategic Power Office with Supplier Automation <http://www.businessesnetwork.com/automation/viewforum.php?f=52> Specialtymarket.com <http://www.specialtymarket.com/> Systems Integrator-- Glad to Assist Chat Y! messenger: bjfr33man David E Jones sent the following on 2/23/2011 12:37 PM: > > That's why I still use DOS.
