    Prefer DOS

    iOS 8.1 with added McAfee protection means that my operating system will work for all time.

    Stick "Classic Shell" on it and it becomes useable.

    Yes, my first PC had Windows 3.1 and a 100MB hard disc. Other than my course in C++ all I used it for was playing Championship Manager.

    I have more than 8, but because I am in South Africa just now, they have bars across them, to keep the bloody natives from stealing my laptop which may or may not have windows 8

    Thing is...in them days...you could fit a totally addictive game onto a floppy disc (1.4MB). That was real skill to fit Elite for example into that much memory.

    Now you're talking, that was a game and a half, first got it on the Spectrum, never stopped playing for about 3 months. I read Short List today and they have a VR version of Elite now.
