I have worked with FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, DOS, WINDOWS and OS/2
My first programmable device was a TI-59 calculator. My first computer
was a TI-99/4a, my next was an Apple II? (1983). The first PC operating
system I used was DOS. I then got the first Window OS when it replaced
DOS 6. After using it for a period I bought OS/2 and installed it.
I definitely am not afraid of new things.
While you are criticizing me for what I said, you never answered the
ergonomic problems I have with Windows 8
