what was your first operating system?

I was just wondering what was the first operating system you owned or licensed to you personally. And yes, it could date you

My first home computer (not counting my Commodore 64 ) was a Hitachi 286 with MS-Dos 4.01. The computer with custom upgrades that included an 80meg hard drive and a dot matrix printer (24pin!) cost about $2,000. I still have both in a box somewhere. I remember being really excited when Dos 6 was released.

My first exposure to Windows was at work when the IT guy used me for a guinea pig and installed Windows on my computer. I was lost for a while. Soooo confusing and complex when Dos was so easy.

Windows 95 was the very first I owned.

Mac was the very first used, but not owned.

I have used Win3.1, Mac-Like Dos and Mac, but, never owned them.

About 11years Windows experience since than and started using Linux during Ubuntu's Feisty Fawn release.

Is a typewriter considered a computer?
thats the first comptuter I used before '95

Win 95 on a Dell 'top of the range' PC which had a humungous 8gig hard-drive - so huge I had to partition it into 4 !!!!! Cost about £3,500 back in 1998 (faints)

Never could work out why I couldnt watch DVDVD's on such a beast!

Apple II+ was our first computer purchased back in 1980 (just before the first IBM was released) - believe the one below is just the Apple II; added a second 140K floppy ($500) and a SLOW modem (another $500); 64K RAM IIRC - total cost after the add-ons was > $3000 (in the dollars of the day!) - but we loved that machine & used it for nearly 6 yrs (the longest used computer in our home).

The OSes I used was Windows 3.1 back in early 1990s, then Windows 95 in 1995 or 1996, then Windows 98 in 1998-9 when I was at elementary school, then Windows XP on the high school computers I even tried Windows 2000. The first computer at home was DOS, then in the turn of the millennium, I had Windows 98 on the family computer, then in mid 2000s, My family got the Windows XP computer. I got my laptop with Windows Vista in 2007. My next computer? a netbook with Windows XP or Windows 7 starter or a laptop with Windows 7.
