Hah! I’m as old as MS-DOS 2.0! (But really got comfortable using computers on my own with Windows 95/98/NT 4.0)

...I was already eight years old when MS-DOS 1.0 was released.

Ugh.

At least I'm likely to die of old age before the resource wars really get kicking.

Apparently I'm as old as DOS 2.13, but only really remember using 5.0 and 6.22, must have been 5 or so at that time.

I remember Windows 2.0 on a b/w screen (more like amber honestly), played Reversi (without knowing how it really works) and used paint to make all black images and then use the eraser to play digital mole.

Simpler times...

I was 2, but we had an Apple 2 and then Macs until I was in college and built a PC right as Win 98 released.

That's what I'm thinking. As for me, I better start hoarding sand or something
