Happy 30th Birthday MS-DOS!

I felt so nostalgic when I've read the news about MS-DOS' 30th anniversary. Honestly, I have no idea that it was this day when Microsoft released MS-DOS 30 years ago. You can read more of it's history here via Wikipedia.
Memories came crashing in, every time I see this one.


Actually, it was the summer of 1995 when I have my first computer encounter. I was in 5th grade when my mom  enrolled me in a community-based computer literacy program.
At first I was hesitant to attend the class, I thought it was all about video games. Yeah, VIDEO GAMES, I consider myself addicted to it during that time. Not to mention, I am the youngest among the students, since most of them are in high school and college. I thought we'll be just playing in class, but I was wrong.
I was thinking about this. I'm sorry. My bad.


We were taught about the basics of computer operations and I can still remember how strict our instructors are. They have this MS-DOS SOP (Standard Operating System), where you have to follow the instructions systematically. We were taught with BASIC, WordStar, Lotus123, DBase 3+ and my personal favorite, PrintMaster. I dunno if some of you are familiar with those applications and yes, it's so old school (I'm 27 by the way). 

Anyway, so much for this semi-utter crap blog post (LOL).  I'll be missing you guys, I'll be out of town for the next three days. So, have fun y'all!
