Me too. Although, I experimented with Linux much later — 2005. Even then Linux was a pain in the rear. But it is A LOT better now.

DOS. Sounds like you are one of those “command line” persons. Then you'd love Linux. :)

I remember those DOS days — command.sys and autoexec.bat. Lol.

Apple? BSD right?

Oh, what fun I would have if I had more free time.

I originally started on a system that was either assemble/machine language... or you could type in the ‘basic’ language.. only i/o was cassette tape. (basic).. Of course, we had 8 inch drives back then.. but not available publicly (and I was 10yo.. what did I know ;)
