Apple I started out as a Mac user in about 1985 in a world which will be totally unfamiliar to almost all readers of OSNews. You wrote out your stuff by longhand, and a secretary typed it on a word processor. If you were lucky and able to manage it, you could dictate it. But you did not dictate into a dictating machine, because these were big heavy and expensive. You dictated it directly to someone who could 'take shorthand'. If you had a PC, it ran DOS. You looked for your files, and moved them around, started applications, one at a time, from the command line, and the command line was not pretty, it was green on black.

What article did you read? Or are you just trying to prove his point?

And does anyone find it odd that this is the only comment that this guy posted? As well as him opening a new account today just to post it?

So what, I had to sign up the first time I wanted to comment about an article I thought was bunk. A lot of people just read the news and don't bother commenting because of all the pointless trolling.
