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 :^)
