PC's 25th Birthday
Ever remember your first PC? I guess I was lucky enough to have one in my primary school days. The monitor screen was green and it ran on MS DOS. No luxury of WINDOWS at that time. It had no hard drives and it had to be booted with floppy disks. Yes they were very floppy and not to mention large. After you have started your computer and it had the a> prompt, you could then remove the startup disk before inserting your program disk.
One of my first word processors was WordStar. There was no power of WYSIWYG and you had to visualise your document from a sea of codes. Often times, your print out is not what is desired.
We have certainly come a long way since. Using a computer is now a breeze. One would imagine how it will be like in another 25 years. The high tech gadgets of today may be frowned upon tomorrow.
