I'm a bit of an OS collector/nut, as those who know me from EightForums can verify.

Started computing on a Casio PB100 (with 512 BYTES of RAM, expandable to 2kb!!)
which I still own, in 1984 (yes, it still goes, runs on two CMOS batteries).

Never looked back...

Wenda.


**EDIT; - @Doc Brown...Yes, I still have mine. 2x1541 drives (one for the OS which
was/is GEOS, one for programs) two C2Ns, and a 'Freeze Machine' cartridge (what a
wonderful accessory THEY were, though not cheap here in Aus). Still runs like new.

Can't kill a C64...:)

Also still have my 1MB A500....**

Started with win 95 went to win 98 loved this OS. From there me and Microsoft took a huge leap and we both fell as we both did a mistake by using and developing Win ME edition respectively. Came back to Win 98 and then again me and Microsoft took a step further and this time it was success for both of us with Win XP.

Now we needed a new look so I started to use Win 7 (loving this as well). Tried Win 8, Ubuntu. But, ultimately returned back to Win 7.
