When I was 6 my parents decided to buy a PC for our home. I think it must have been a 286, but I really don’t remember. I do remember moving to a 386 and then a 486.
Lots of fond memories of norton commander, wordperfect and the old versions of battle chess.
Good times! I wish I had understood back then how much computers were going to change the world. Luckily my parents did.
- olyjohn 6y agoSame story here. I remember being 5 or 6 years old. We had a DOS PC with an orange CRT display. I think it was also a 286. I still remember the commands to run Word Perfect and this game called Fun House. My first command line experience. Mostly my mom used the computer for word processing and printed off letters on our dot matrix printer.
