The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

I actually used Window 2.0 on one 286 machine, but never understood the significance until 3.0 came out.

Yeah, Windows 2.0 wasn't much but it was better than 1.0 was. I started using Windows when 3.1 came out. Before that I was strictly a DOS man.

Got all the way up to DOS 6.0, even with Windows 2.0 on the machine. I remember trying to compose a message using DOS without a word processor. Those were not the "good old days" that we like to remember. But then again, that was all we had. The actually first computer that I worked with was a Univac Solid-State when you inputed the boot sequence using a ten-key keypad. The hard drive (drum memory) was the size of a washing machine and held 5,000 "words" (Remington-Rand). Now those were fun days.... Oh yeah, those machines with a card reader, card punch and printer ran about $500,000 and had the computing power of a hand-held calculator.
