We got a little Tandy computer and a printer in 1986. Looked at the Apple version, but it cost almost $1000 more. I wanted to just buy a typewriter, but husband insisted we needed a computer, then he never touched it. The operating system was DOS and it came with an instruction book, that said how to turn it on, and what to type in to get it to do something. I didn’t have a job at that time and had all day to fiddle with the thing. I eventually came up with my own version of an autoexec.bat file (of which I was very proud) and got its’ little program to print out some “documents”. I am still our IT person, but have to admit I don’t have much of a clue with Windows, other than the all-purpose reboot.
