I'm pretty sure my first copy was from ITT as well. Funny, I still had
the original books and floppy disks for that until about 2 years ago.
I'm a bit of a Pack Rat..   B)

Mine was a bit newer (DOS 3.3) and I only got that for the software
from a friend who worked in Telecom since I'd built a computer from
parts and needed to find an OS for it..

Let's see, since this was DOS (for a PC) it was probably in 1987.
Prior to that I had built 2 Apple II+ clones using Apple software.

Yes, I can understand using Wordpad as I did it myself until I ran
across Jarte a lot of years back and still use today..

EV>Just thought Iwould jump in and comment.

Always interesting to hear where people got started..   B)
