😊 Thanks... I forgot I filled that out. Maybe I have to start lying about my age.
@Philter... when I was your age Microsoft had just released Windows 2.1 and the Iran/Iraq war had just ended.
Careful mate... those decades creep past you if you let 'em.

And this is how win 2.1 looked like:
And this pic shows a late eighties PC ......
The company I worked for back in the days bought a huge production machine, that had all its parameters fully computer controlled. The control SW ran on windows 2. As nobody seemed to remember how to operate the control SW after the machine builders left I was asked to get it up and running. It turned out to be a disaster. Either the control SW was crap or windows 2 or both, I guess the PC went down at least every half hour or so. We didn't even succeed in entering the initial parameter values I'm afraid. It was absolutely too crappy to have it running in an almost 24/7 environment. Looking back I didn't see windows as a real OS, I suppose. It made a toy-ish impression to me, as I came from a completely different environment (at university). In that environment mainframes and mini's like the DEC PDP-11 still reigned (but not for long).

No, I don't, however as I am exactly twice as old as philter, I am equalling your 5 decades!
Cheers to all,

Heheh, those PC from the 80's where horrible I thought, a friend of mine had one, and all it could do was beep and bleep, quite a good laugh...but I come from making music on C64, Amiga 500, 1200 and a Amiga 2000 with 16 bit soundcard...I only stepped over to PC when Cubase came out on it with the first affordable 16 bit audio interfaces...Amiga lateron became quite expensive, hard to find replacement boards, only on fanboy gatherings etcetera...for that money of one board for a hard drive you have a whole PC nowadays.
Have a good one Leif!! 🙂
