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! Doc Clu
