<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LA_Geezer, post: 6664808, member: 89393&quot;]Just the opposite here. I started with a company-supplied Zenith DOS notebook in the mid-eighties. We were told to run a program every Friday afternoon that would download the week&#039;s activities onto a floppy disk which would then be mailed to the home office. When people would see me sitting at a restaurant counter drinking coffee while working on this POS they would ask, &quot;What program are you using?&quot; I would answer, &quot;Wordperfect, my favorite command is F-7.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought one of the original Macs in 1984, did a lot of study on what was available for it and soon after developed my own set of marketing programs and forms using Microsoft&#039;s flat &quot;File&quot;, Word and, at the time, Multiplan. This really p!$$ed off the computer guys who had been hired to do the rote things that required a simple data transfer to disk once a week. The crowd oohed and ahhed at what I showed them.&nbsp; Of course, I was still required to use one of those awful Zenith laptops, then jumped for joy when the Marketing Department admitted that they could not achieve what they needed so the program was abandoned and the machines requested to be returned. Al Gore&#039;s invention had not come into full use yet. Enter the original Windoze wherein adopters could say I have a mouse too, and I have more games than you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thirty-seven years later I am still running a Mac, although, at times in the late 90s I bought a few Windows machines, promptly sending them to my brother who never learned to take it easy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
