![]() ![]() I remember that I went into either CompUSA, or Businessland and saw a BOXED copy of this Linux called Mandrake. I saw a review of this operating system called Linux in a computer magazine (I think it was Byte), which made me excited. The Cyrix became my first Linux computer. This machine later was exchanged for a custom computer built for me by a buddy with a Cyrix 166 chip. In later years I went to a 386 SX/25 Packard Bell with Windows 3.1. Later in 1988 I upgraded to a Zenith Z-150 with 640k ram, dual floppy drives, a 20 MB hard drive (second hand), and an EGA card running a NEC V20 chip and MS DOS 3.3 then later 6. Then after college while I was in the Army in the 1980's I purchased by first computer and IBM PCjr with 128 K of ram a CGA card, and a single 360k floppy running IBM DOS 2.1. I remember when computers were what were called "mainframes" running Unix or VMS operating systems. I have been around for 61 years now and feel it every day.
