I'm still using Win 2k pro.

I do have XP pro and even installed it once but a golf game i played a lot then didn't run well on it so I went back to win 2k.

Anyone remember the Tandy 1000 from 1986 or maybe 85 or maybe 84 with DOS 1.2 on a 5 and one quarter inch floppy disk?

No mouse, no hard drive, monochrome amber monitor, and was very cheap @ $5432.00.

Yeah Radio Shack.

I also have a TI 99 4-A buried somewhere in my pack rat room.

And another RS one; the CoCo II.

Back in those days a lot of really stupid business people thought that hardware was where the money was in computers and allowed Bill Gates to become the richest man in the world with his stolen OS.
