Well, heck. Miss B, do you remember BASIC? LOL! I wrote very simple computer programs in that... VBasic came out and confused me, but eventually I figured it out.
And then there was COBOL... *shudders!*
My first ever pc was an IBM XT - it had a total of 640kb in memory, and the display could be in three colors - white, green, or amber!
My Bear had an old Commodore-64 as his first machine!
Windows 3.1 - ewwwwwww I was SO glad when 95 came out... and then 98 was released and was horrible! This was followed by 98SE, which I fell in love with... we tested out WinME, it picked up viruses faster than a magnet picks up metal shavings! We got rid of that one pretty fast.
I sort of stuck with XP until my old desktop just finally died.. and then my laptop here, when I bought it, it shipped with 8.1. Ewww. Couldn't downgrade to 7, refused to upgrade to 10. With the new HD, at least I can go to Win7.
Laptop surgery is successfully completed.
New HD is installed. Currently in the process of creating a bootable USB flash drive for Win7 now...
...ya might think I learned a thing or two from my fuzzy grumpy Bear! LOL
