I think of my first computer (Commodore 64) very fondly. The Commodore 128 less so and my first 8088 and 286 I mostly think of IRQ and config.sys hell.
I worked at a computer consulting company 1990-1991 and started my own company after that. Got very good at puzzling out how to jam as many ISA cards as my customers thought they needed into their computers. But I really think of that as the bad old days.
I remember getting computers on a network running SHGEN-1 and SHGEN-1 with Novell Netware 2.15 on 360k floppies on a 286. It took an hour for a single computer! I wouldn’t want to go back to that for anything.
