I am rather new (2 weeks here) to ATOT but I don't get turned on by IBM-Dos. I grew up programming TRS-80's and Tandy Colour Computer 3's (coco3's).

 

[GTaudiophile]

Funny thing is, in 20 years I bet we'll be in some sort of incarnation of ATOT, laughing about the hardware we have today. By then I should have around 80,000 posts!

5 1/4?! I remember using 8" floppy discs!

That was at least 1982. I remember programming on a brand new CompuColor computer, which could display text in 8 - count 'em - EIGHT colors. And the text could BLINK.

That was the pinnacle of user interface!
