I stayed with DOS 6.2.2 until I finally took the leap to Windows 3.1.1

I worked for International Harvester in the late 1950’s in Broadview Illinois....you could get inside the computer and they said it produced enough heat for a 7 story hotel. Clicking switches and lights everywhere.

My first was a Royal CP/M PC that had two hard disk drives. It ran Peachtree 8-bit Software. Copy writed 1983. Display was the 12" CRT with gold tone characters.

I wrote all my graduate school papers using a daisy wheel printer designed for it. We used Micom printers at work that utilized 12" floppy disks.

Both masters theses I wrote I did on this computer and printer set up, because in those days you had to submit a typed "letter perfect" theses for publication. You could not use dot matrix printers for that purpose.

So much easier to do job searches and type up resumes, when the only other alternative was a an IBM Selectric 3.

I still have that Royal CP/M and all it's 5.25" disks. Still works!

FReegards!

My first experience was with Win 2.0 - even it was very “DOS-ey”

[Disambiguator]

The early Windows versions weren’t really operating systems, as they required MS-DOS to be installed on the PC already. Windows was just a GUI, but it was still DOS under the hood.

Windows 95 was the first real Windows operating system.
Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since it came out!
