I’ll probably going to regret saying this but…I love to catch a glimpse of myself when passing a reflective shop window, and I could spend all day in the changing room cubicle with the full length mirror, Mrs Fox has to drag me out when I’m trying stuff on…

The Sinclair ZX is still working a treat.
But one cannot “Forget” how “Old”. DOS. is.

I’m being optimistic when asking if anyone understands the above post?
No idea what Sinclair ZX is.
DOS may be a computer term.
and the rest?
Seriously, I need help with this.

Yes I remember MS-DOS, Microsoft disc operating system. Probably the first that was introduced to the bank where I worked. We had a couple of the Indian officers giving us a preview of what was to come. And one kept saying ‘mee-new, instead of the proper pronunciation. I never, ever got a new computer, but inherited whatever was on the desk on gaining the first job, then the promotion. Most others got a brand new machine. Me, never. And it was also the early days of the internet and most of us were banned from even using it. Only one computer had the access. Nowadays I imagine everyone has an email address, software to work from home, etc.
Wonder if I’d ever recognise technology in the workplace, even though I use it at home.

My first introduction to computing was when a friend came down with his commodore and demonstrated all of his running journals, spreadsheets and data bases. It took ages to load up from a cassette.
I was so impressed I purchased a second hand Amiga and it was brilliant. The graphics on deluxe paint were excellent and could do things that even today’s stuff can’t do…Not on my computer anyway…

Mum and dad had a computer game where you could play golf. Leaderboard, it was called. It was quite good. That could well have been a Commodore as this game was on cassette.

My Son had a computer game, cant remember what it was called but you had to get through a series of rooms or caves to get to the treasure. If you typed rude remarks to it it sent you back to the begining. Any idea, anyone, what game it was???

I still use M$ DOS everyday in the form of batch files, much quicker than GUI, fortunately Windows still knows what to do because it is still on every computer in the form of CMD.exe (Command Prompt)

As I get older I generally forget until I look in the mirror when shaving and wonder who that other guy is. I am blessed to be still above ground, fit and healthy. You just have to keep motivated and not worry about the age thing. You only go around this old world once, so grab the gusto and enjoy. Until the man upstairs has plans for you.
