Please allow me to introduce myself...

Who here recalls...

I remember about IBM-DOS, dreaming of RLL hard-disk drives besides MFM, 16550 UARTs to make me forget the 300 to 9600 bps era. I also remember a few fetish apps like G-Edit and Commo, which were more productive than fiddling with 'sys.com', 'config.sys', autoexec.bat' plus memory driver configurations... Then how can i forget sitting on bad chairs, sweating in the summer always delaying the pause until dawn came.

Nope, a bit of nostalgia is fine but i wouldn't want to go back!

@KGill - good catch! I only missed by 2 letters - does it make a differance?

Yea, that's shame on my face... how in the world could I get it that wrong?

It would have been a whole lot of RAM at the time. Supercomputers of the day might have had that much RAM. Heck, even 512 kb of RAM would have been pretty sweet.

You're not wrong there, but it does give us oldies a totally different perspective on machines and OS's than the young ones
