9. Well, I was part of the original IBM PC design team in 82-83. You know
Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 06:48 PM by VegasWolf
where we limited the user ram to 640k because no one could ever use
more than 640k. We actually had three OS's for the first PCs. The
customers chose DOS.

I built my first computer with a wire wrapped board
and an old Zilog processor in the 70's. The clock oscillator was
so slow that I could pick up AM radio staitons off the bus.

I've used all systems and for all its blemishes I still stay
with the PC.
