Hehe, I too still have my early DOS, MS Works for DOS, and Windows.
(Among scores of other software of the era.) Still have an old working IBM
8086 with the 51/4 floppy drives for the dos stuff, and a 386 for goofing
off with Win 3.1, although I rarely find the time to play with them any
more. Having used all that, way back when, I am able to appreciate what has
come fourth through the years, buggy or not. Have always found ways to
fix/patch and move on. NEVER have I EVER, logged on to a bulletin board, and
now news groups, and whined and cried because I had a problem with an OS or
the software for it. Instead, I simply presented the problem at hand, and
asked for assistance, got it, fixed the problem, and moved on. What is
complained about, and the things said anymore in these news groups amazes
me. I come here to learn of problems and fixes so that I am prepared to deal
with them in case my clients have similar problems. (Or myself for that
matter)
Ah well, I guess if you haven't experienced the good ol' days, you don't
know how good you really have it now.
