   I have worked with FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, DOS, WINDOWS and OS/2   
   My first programmable device was a TI-59 calculator. My first computer   
   was a TI-99/4a, my next was an Apple II? (1983).  The first PC operating   
   system I used was DOS.  I then got the first Window OS when it replaced   
   DOS 6.  After using it for a period I bought OS/2 and installed it.   
      
   I definitely am not afraid of new things.   
      
   While you are criticizing me for what I said, you never answered the   
   ergonomic problems I have with Windows 8
