    I learned a while ago, CPM was my first microcomputer Operating system, and IBM/DOS was my first mainframe operating system.

    I had had my first computer contact with some Macs. But I have really begun to learn with my first Windows 95 box.
    It's the best OS to learn how to crash your pc with style... and what to do after the crash!

    I was introduced to computers on Apple IIs and Ataria 800s. My dad had the Ataria my best friends dad the apple. The first OS I learned was DOS 3 (??) the one prior to the Graphic shell. I read the entire DOS book and took notes. Its amazing how much I've built on that initial base.

    my first 2 systems was earlly 80's , but i remember nothing about it , but the word Apple and Commodore on each one - sence it was a game PC only

    but the real one i did really enjoy playing with was :
    american research corporation (ARC ) 286 machine running dos 5.somthing

    Back to your main Q?
    the first OS i knew all it's ins and outs was DOS 6.22
    and what i'd like to know is Linux ins and outs.
    conclusion: Windows golden age will be disapeared as soon as peeps get used to Linux or ( *nix ) OS.
    that what i believe in
