Yeah, I was using DOS when I couldn’t even read. My father worked in IT and made a simple script for us kids on an old machine he got from work, so we could choose games and launch them with very simple commands (stuff like the commander keens and a racing game, and that one skiing game). Then there was no talk of screen time, when people got worried about it in the 2000s my mother got scared too, but at that point it was too late as I grew up with computers lmao. Maybe surprisingly I didn’t turn out as a that huge machine nerd though, I leaned more towards books later on
lol. Linux didn’t even exist when I was 12 I think or it was very very young
Yeah. I started with DOS. Windows existed, but I had an older used computer with no mouse and a 5 1\4 floppy and leisure suit Larry.

I think I had windows 3.1 on my 386, but I usually lived in DOS because I needed the memory free to play games.
oh the days of 3.1. I over clocked to 33Mhz and upgraded my ram to a hefty 4 MB.
i started with a commodore 64 lol. Man, I’m so fucking decrepit.
