I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

I started with Dos 6.22 and used Win3.1 only for Solitaire and Word6. Then Win95 came out and it was marvellous - a PC could do THAT? Worthy of byuing a 486 or a freaking Pentium 90! And the setup procedure, consisting of no less than 27 diskettes, some of those formatted slightly over 2.0 MB to render them not copiable under Windows - except that there were plenty of tools to do that. As much as I can remember Win95 OSR/2 and Win95 Professional + Plus were the first ones shipped on CDs... EDIT: for curiosity I wikipediaed the whole story and I wrote a lot of inaccuracies - I was EXTREMELY young and time helped confusing my memory.

Ah, I have fond memories of Win95... Laughing at all the script kiddies on IRC, sending me ICMPs on port 139, hurling their nukes against my firewall... Ahh, the good old days...
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Me too, my first PC was an Amstrad with a 5 or 10 MB HDD (I can't remember for sure) and a 5"floppy. It ran Dos 3.0, C/PM and Gem. I wrote my own solitaire suite, which had a dozen or so games, in Locomotive Basic. Pip, Pip!

Windows 95 sucked! I skipped it. I only went to Windows 98 because I really wanted to use Photoshop.

Wow, DOS 1.0. That's a while back. I started out around DOS 3.3. Do you remember when DOS 5.0 came out? Big deal with all that himem.sys configuring extended memory and all. Remember editing config.sys and autoexec.bat? Those were(n't) the days weren't they? :D edlin was cryptically cool. if you could use that you were cool. :)

My first "proper" home machine (other than ZX81 and Spectrum) was an Amstrad PCW8512 with twin 3" floppies, CP/M, Mallard Basic and Locoscript word processing. L loved that machine! My first pc based machine was an Amstrad PC1640 with twin 3.5" floppies and DOS 3.0 - I added a 10Mb HDD card, which cost me £250 on Tottenham Court Road in London. It's still in my loft somewhere, and probably has not been booted up for 20 years! In work we were using ICL DRS300 and Comart machines running CCP/M (the multi-user version of CP/M). Our first PC architecture machine was an Apricot PC which was not fully PC compatible. We then got a Wang, followed by an IBM PC/AT which had a 20Mb hard disk.

Yep, PC1640 was mine too, but we got it with the HDD included. You might be right about 3.5s, in which case I added a 5" myself. We had some PCW8512s at uni, would you believe to enter code for cross compilation for single-board computers that we had built ourselves. The computers were to control little robots that were driven by old floppy stepper motors. The robots each had an infra-red sensor and "paddles" operating micro-switches to detect collisions and we had to program them to find their way around a simple maze. Fun times!
