First computer in 1979, Texas Instruments, but soon went to real computing with an Apple IIe ... a great computer. Always a fan of Apple cos they worked.

Business forced me to use Windows 95, 98, me, XP and 7 ... all crap. All designed to make you spend money to either make it work or keep it running and when you finally get it working properly you have to upgrade at further cost.

A few years ago a mate gave me a copy of Linux mint 7 and I have been hooked ever since. Have used 9, 10, 13, 14 and 15 and will soon upgrade to Petra Cinnamon.

Love Sheldon ... love Linux ... BTW I'm 65yo.
