Favourite OS Neptune 5111, Whistler 2430
AMSDOS with Locomotive BASIC - my first computer was an Amstrad 6128+ CPC - that takes me back, trying to program BASIC line by line. This was before true computer animations on home PCs...the animations you could code with BASIC were basically done by changing the colour of the ink specified on the screen to make something appear as if it was moving, that was annoying and time consuming.

Mine was somewhere around 1992, DOS but that's all I remember. It was on a Packard Bell which came with some special graphical menu for launching apps that they had made themselves. I remember launching games from it when I was little; Space Vegetables (which I wish I had a copy of) has to be the one I remember the most from that long ago, although I never really figured out how to play it.
That would be the Navigator, good sir. I, too, had a Packard-Bell that I got in 1992. 72mhz, 8mb ram, less than 1GB hdd. good stuff..

My first was a crappy Windows ME. I hated it. I never understood when you would run a setup off a CD and ejected it, a BSOD would appear. LOL! Then i got a crappy Dell Dimension e310 (XP) with 512 MB which was way too slooooooowwwww.
