Our second computer was a Packard Bell, it ran Windows 95. Our first computer (1988) was an Acer, it ran DOS

My acquaintance with Windows 3.x was only at friends’ houses and some offices I visited.

As a kid our computer had a floppy disk drive with DOS. And I mean a real floppy disk, the 5-1/4" ones that were actually floppy.

Funny, I was just telling DW yesterday that it’s insane that in our lifetime and memories DVDs came and went.

On 5 1/4” floppies? Those stuff were terribly unreliable.
