   We've all struggled from time to time with software versions working/not   
   working, absent of good documentation, lack of feature compatibility on   
   any o/s chosen for use.   
      
   Like you, iirc you mentioned in another thread, and many others I started   
   on the Apple side vs. the IBM/MSFT/DOS side.  Apple(1978-1997   
   models(I,II, II+ //e, III(used from an accounting firm information tech   
   auditor), MAC, skipped Lisa, skipped //c, more MAC).   
   Windows-wise the first device was 1990(3.0), but comfort and majority of   
   use going forward instead of Apple began 1994(W95 beta, NAV beta(Peter   
   Norton, not Symantec) and MSN beta).   
      
   The //e with a 10 MB Profile and two 3.5 floppy drives was my favorite   
   Apple device. Ran a dial in BBS system(Sectorvision, 6 different   
   groups/rooms) on that device for ~6 yrs ending in 1992, sign-up/use was   
   free, donations accepted($1-2 max) - users peaked just shy of 300..sold   
   the devices and the BBS software.   
      
   Lol...instead of continuing buying newer MAC(selling and donated some of   
   the older devices as later models became available), it made more sense   
   to just buy Apple and start buying MSFT stock to periodically fund my   
   hardware every so often.   
      
   Don't know about you, but for me it was more about hobby, learning, and   
   just another type of extra-curricular entertainment...48 yrs later, it   
   still holds those same values. These days some of that is tempered with   
   just Win10/11 and just a manageable amount of software.   
     => I've yet to buy any software that was not compatible with my current   
   Windows operating systems
