Yep. Went to a symposium where the guy asked us folks who called tech support for Windows 1 to raise our hands. I was one of a dozen.

He said, “Hi. We’ve talked. I was it.” He showed us his sock feet. Felling old, now.

I was given a PC in about 1999 with MS 3.1 on it, with MS Office. For that work you could still use it today.

But also had W/95 and 98se, and learned many way to tweak it (es. with the constant low system resources). Went from that to XP, then jumped to W/8 and then to W/10. Word Pro software is the most transcendent it seems. Thank God for all.

In the mid 80’s, you would mainly use it to run Adobe Pagemaker on an x86 machine.

But you would still print it to an Apple LaserWriter.

A bad knockoff of a Mac, but a few thousand cheaper than a Mac.
