That was cool. My first computer experience was with Windows 95. It was neat to see the start up screen again. I remember all of the upgrades to 98, ME, XP, Vista, and 7.

I so hard when I saw him type twatface....

I started at DOS 4.1

I used to use a simple ASCII/DOS menu system called Direct Access to automate program loading.

Windows 3.1 was widely regarded as the first "usable" Windows build, and the first one I loaded.
