Dos Machine!? Ok. I have a TS 1000 I sometimes play with. I believe it
came out in 1981(?).
---> Fun! I have a Headstart Explorer from the late 80's.
Interesting machine. Would have been REALLY cool if it came with a
built in term program.
2k of ram. I also am an SE/30 regular use, along with a dual 800k
floppy SE that I run OS 2 on.
---> OS 2... wow... that is a very quick operating system on a SE. :D
I think when I started I was using ... System 3 I believe.
I remember seeing a computer with System 6 when I had system 5
and thought... wow.. such advances. :D
The old story of looking back on a moment and wondering what I
saw. But the black and white Mac's were a lot of fun. I actually took
one camping shortly after getting it. That was the only way to get me
out of the house.
And when I think of it, what did I have to tinker on it?
MacPaint, MacWrite... uhhh... MacPaint... hehehe... oh, and Cap'n
Magneto. Now that was addictive. Still play it, and FINALLY paid the
shareware on it. :D
They were so cute... with those 9 "inch screens
Hey, I just realized... OS X is the first OS to not have the
happy Mac at startup. No "Welcome to Macintosh" anymore. Well that
sucks!
