So I bought "DOS for Dummies". Started reading, it told me the first thing to do was to load my program onto the hard drive "all computers have a hard drive" if I remember correctly.

Well, my lousy POS Sharp PC/typewriter didn't!!! Finally got a basic word processing program to run on it, but just barely. Finally bought a used 386 DX40?...talk about night and day. I could actually use it.

Used to "wow" all my buddies with it, but they were high rollers, and went out and financed 486's.

Still think 3.11 was Bill Gates best effort.
