Honey, don't pick up the phone, ok??? Oh, sh*t.... not again....


I had 1200 baud capability because I sprung for the latest and greatest
CPU - a brand new shiny I-286 running Geoworks. (The original "windows"
based software, before Microsoft came along)

I ran Autocad on a 286 with Geoworks! I remember saying to myself that
this graphical interface stuff can't possibly make it, it uses to much
ram to run that stuff, compared to DOS. I think I was wrong!

You won't believe a word of what I'm about to say, but it wasn't up
until 2000/01 that I started using a mouse.

I still use control, alt and tab to move around Windows quite a bit.


I'm with you. I cut my teeth using a text based interface, and old
habits die hard. Not until I could no longer do what I wanted in a dos
window, that I reluctantly embraced a GUI. Now I'm quite used to it.
