  How Microsoft drove me to Linux
Time: 09:23 EST/14:23 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Byron Hinson

bought my first computer in 1988. It was an Amstrad PC2286. It came equipped with a 12.5 MHz '286-DX (no slouch by any measure of the day), an entire megabyte of RAM, an immense 40Mb RLL HDD, MSDOS 4.01, and a most peculiar OS called Windows-286. Ah, the manual. It told you everything you wanted to know. I curled up with it in bed. I learned debug. You could do some stuff with that little progie. I came up with a little fractal-like item I could use, manually of course, as a sort of screensaver. I thought it was pretty damn cool -- and green on black, naturally.
