[Ham-Computers] Re Upgrades Windows 98 And Spell Check

[Philip Atchley]

Ah yes,

My first machine was a Singer 8086 in 1983.  It ran CPM and/or an 
upstart called DOS.  BIG BUX! About three grand got you a machine with a 
green screen, two 5 1/4 floppies, and I 'think' upgraded to 640K of RAM, 
I could be mistaken there.  No mouse, no modem, and sound was a "beep" 
from the motherboard speaker.  The package I got DID come with some 
basic software like CPM, DOS, GW Basic and early Wordstar etc.  Oh, I 
also got a 8 pin printer with it (don't recall the model).
