I can't ever remember when i actually paid for a copy of the OS, unless it was
part of the cost of the bundle with the brand new computer itself.

Yeah - 'cause those software developer guys have to changing everything to make
it "better"   :D

Pfft.  Don't know what you're talking about.   NOBODY here is old.
Probably just forgot to take your medication this morning.   Or up the dose.

I started with a Timex Sinclair 1000, then I got a VIC-20 (which I loved), sold
that and got an Atari 800 XL, and then it wasn't until years later that I got an
HP desktop.  My first upgrade was to an impossibly huge 640 MB HDD  :D   "You'll
