You have the luck to known these beautifull years :-). In these days i
was only a baby and i've known my first computer only at 12 :-/
So it was in 1990... on m$dos 6 and W3.11. just before linux was born
:-). The first computer i've used was a 86286 20Mhz.

It took 2 sec to excel to show a letter after pressing the keyboard
!!!. In fact, i've discovered the terminals on the late but i keep a
good feeling about them for true productivity interconnected
programs... better for that than actual cloudified web products.
