Ms-Dos

Nostalgia

I’m not super interested in FreeDOS, but did enjoy this video from Jim Hall since I lived through all this, and was working in IT (well, ‘data processing’ actually) during the introduction of the IBM PC.

My first DOS was 2.11, but spent a lot more time on 3.12, and later 4.01. Windows wasn’t really ready for anyone until 3.1 which is when I dived in there. I seem to remember purchasing a PC with a whole megabyte of RAM in anticipation!
