Re-live the glory years.

First ancient radio shows (below), now ancient computer operating systems. And a couple of new ones too. Beginning with the first Macintosh, introduced in January, 1984, a visual history of computer OS displays.

My first computer, of course, isn't even on the list, having been pre-DOS and having been a command-line system anyway, which hardly counts. But, what is generally unknown - and revealed here to an international audience for the first time ever - I am the guy who bought Windows 1.0. I hesitate to admit it, but it's true.

My first Mac was System 7, which also now seems a long and exceeding ugly time ago.

The pictures aren't large enough to experience the full, gut-wrenching horror, but still they're kind of fun to see.
