<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 6646093, member: 33176"]Ah, this takes me back... I started working for Ampex in N. CA in 1982 and they used computers for formulation calculations. These computers (used they were) used 12" floppies! Insert the operating system, turn the computer on and wait for it to boot...remove the op system disk and insert the program disk... From this I moved on to a Windows system at 3M. After being laid-off, and moving into teaching, I was forced into Appleworld which I never really understood or liked. Now I have a desk-top running Windows 10.1 in an emulation mode and do most of my play on a Chromebook. Adapt with the times...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
