I do remember playing with Windows and Windows 2, before we even got to Windows 3. And my first Computer was the TRS-80 with 4K of Ram, no floppies and for storage you had a cassette tape drive. From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2010 1:45 PM To:

My first computer was an 8086, Commodore Colt PC10 with dual 5.25" floppies and MCGA graphics. My *second* computer was a true-blue IBM PC with an integrated VGA monitor. It was running MS Dos 5, I think and came with Windows 3, as best I recall. I don't think *anyone* even remembers Windows 3 thes

RE: CompTIA certs

I have to go tweak my QEMM settings again, and see if I can get DiskDoubler to squeeze a few more bytes of storage out of my ST-225 HD, which by the way, shakes the whole desk as the heads seek. After that, I have to work on getting Win 3.0 to work better in my DeskPro window.
