I still have a couple copies of DesignCAD (I 
think one is before the 2D/3D releases, and one 
is the 2D release).  I both predate the PS/1, and 
the one the PS/2.  It was my first "Drawing" 
program, and I ran it on a Kaypro 2000 laptop in 
the late 80's.  I've got to agree, the "Good Ol' 
Days" it wasn't.  I'll stick with Mac's, VMS, and 
Unix thank you :^)
