Description
I've never been much of an "Apple Man." When it comes to computing, I guess you could say I'm a "Microsoft Man."
What makes me a "Microsoft Man" you
might ask? That I can answer in one word; simplicity. I happened to go to school
in the late 70's and remember taking a computer science class. I can
remember being told about Fortran and CobOl, and other computer languages. I can
also remember punching holes in IBM cards to teach my computer how to execute
my commands. Oh, and I can remember one other thing. I remember never
wanting to take another computer science class or get near the university's computer
science building with a ten foot pole.
Want to really go on a trip down memory lane? Start your computer and move
out of your cozy windows environment and see what you can do with the "C prompt"
that awaits you. I'm willing to guess one of the bad dreams you may have had in the
past that you could not quite remember may have had something to do with you
having to fix something on your computer in the land of "Dos."
