A true story from my childhood:
Here’s one for you. I’ll tell you how I learned about windows 3.1 way way back.
My first computer was a mac color classic. Got it back in the early 90s. Games were like $50 at the store and whatever and I didn’t have any so I was thinking fuck this computer. My friend told me 386s were good. I picked up the fucking yellow pages and called computer stores seeing if I could trade my mac for a 386. I found one! I traded it in for a 386sx 20 w/ 4mb of ram.
One day I’m sitting at home infront of a dos prompt bored as hell. I decide I’ll think of every word I know and type it in. This is how I learned of random comands I still use to day like ‘set’. This wasn’t bearing any fruit so I decide I’ll type a word and then the opposite. I first type the word ‘lose’ and then type the word ‘win’. Like fucking fireworks my computer exploded and that was the first time I saw windows 3.1.
I sat infront of that shit all fucking night clicking on everything.
