I would vote but the OS I started on isn't on there Windows didn't exist when I started playing on computers~

Early 80's, the rare times I went with my dad to his work, talk about dinosaur age for computers back then......I'm talking about the huge reels that they used to store the computer data on (kinda looks like the movie reels they had in movie theaters, but bigger).
Back in 5th grade I went to an extra class where we played with DOS.

want to go back a little further for us older folks? My first computer used Apple DOS 3.3. It was a hand me down Apple IIe I got in 1987. My first Windows OS was CE 1.0.

Had a DOS machine when I was in 1st grade, I remember we still had monochrome Apple machines at school as well.

I eventually built my own box around 10-12 as a project with my Dad and from then on I've always been addicted!

IBM PC-DOS 2.10 on a PC Jr.

No, I didn't remember what DOS version it came with, I looked it up.

There were only main frames and I used them in the 70's. So those were my first computers. Later got an Timex/Sinclair to play with in the 80's and an Osborne 1 which came with CPM, a great OS, much better than DOS which followed it. Finally a XP and now up to Win 7 and Linux. So I used from Unix to current days OS.

And yes I still have my slide rulers and I still know how to use them. No batteries required for them
