Sad but true.
I personally came kicking and screaming into the world of GUI based
software (Windows) and was otherwise quite pleased to be using just
plain DOS up until I could no longer purchase anything worthwhile at
the big name computer stores.... In fact, I went from daily use of a
Commodore C-64 to DOS 6.22, directly to Win 98.

Happy to say that I missed all previous versions of Windows and never
have liked the one's I've been stuck with even at that.


Best regards,
