My 1st PC usage was a first a software PC emulator on my Atari ST... Then a hardware one! (Now thats (PC Speed ( came with Dos2!)))! A Lotus123 copy, asEasyAs123 was the only reason at the time, the ST had things like Calamus and much better WIMP than the PC could imagine at the time. The ST having a 68000 and some decent graphics hardware was a lot of fun but I was just dissapointed by the PC hardware and the x86 so never really had any fun at machine-code level on a PC, C# only.... I helped wire up the school Nimbus (8085s!)/Novell network in about 1988, and my 1st built clone at the time which was an 8086, with a 5.25 and 3.5 floppy... When windows 2 came out it was just about runable but it wasn't long till my 1st harddisk which was a 30MB hardcard (RLL interface), I've been through every DOS AND Windows! since v2 of each... Neal
