[dba-Tech] 1-2-3 DOS version under XP

Aha
Getting nostalgic...

Netware 2.2, Xenix, PC-MOS, TBOS, MUMPS, Lan Manager, OS2, Corvus PC-NOS
, DOS 2.x...
Lantastic, Windows 2.x (Great stuf you only had notepad a calculator and
minesweeper (or patience))
Those good old days...
A compleet OS on 1 or 2 360KB diskettes...

And and

I remember the first time I saw a mouse....
What the heel were we suposed to do with a mouse.
With a special mousepad, I believe those first mouses where optical?

And and
The first non-us keyboard 
Aaaahhh great stufff
We had to put small stickers on the keys, but hey, we sure had azerty!!!

And and
The first laserprinter

And and the 
first colorprinter

I'm getting old :-(

Hello Erwin,

I am not so excited about it, and you need not dig it out.  I was only
wondering for romantic reasons, I have no need for it, but it would
remind me of when I was a young man :)

I still remember the excitement of when I first installed, Windows 3.1
and Word 2.0 and Excel 4.0

Best Regards
