| schestowitz | fun fact: the program that got me into computers originally was the dos paint program "pc paintbrush" that microsoft cloned-- i first used that in dos when i was 4. with a very well-designed ibm joystick. i had a mouse in the 80s, which i used in dos. | Aug 01 10:37 |
| schestowitz | i am proficient with gimp but the logo work i did was in mtpaint which is also available for windows. mtpaint is scriptable, less friendly than gimp, popular in the puppy community because of its size. | Aug 01 10:37 |
| schestowitz | after getting into computers with pc paintbrush, i learned coding in basic shortly thereafter. i used dos 3.3 first, then dos 5, 6.22, windows 3.0 then 3.1 and i held out for years before switching to 95. i got online with windows 3.1 and sometimes with arachne in dos. i liked your linux contingency article-- cheers. | Aug 01 10:37 |
