**I was always a die-hard Windows fan. It started with Windows 3.1 – I was amazed at what I could draw (cartoons) with MS Paint. My son was 3 years old when I introduced him to computers using a custom desktop program called Kid Desk. It was a way to introduce him to working with computers while keeping my install safe from him. Windows 3.1 used, I think, 3 diskettes, but even a video resolution change could destroy the installation. That would require me to install DOS first (6 floppies, I think).** | **I was always a die-hard Windows fan. It started with Windows 3.1 – I was amazed at what I could draw (cartoons) with MS Paint.

**I went into Windows 95 and remember it didn’t come with a mail program. Most people were using a different version, that included Outlook Express, but I couldn’t afford that. I tried to download it via 56K modem, which succeeded only in large charges for my phone bill – lived out of town, so the ISP was lon-distance. I remember the dawn of the world-wide-web. I went to a site (using Quarterdeck Mosaic as my browser), and literally screamed when I saw an image of the Canadian Flag on my screen. It was the first image I had ever seen on the net!** | **I went into Windows 95 and remember it didn’t come with a mail program.

+ | J'ai finalement acheté Windows 98 et j'ai été époustouflé par l'OS. Il coûtait à peu près 200 $. Par comparaison avec Windows 95, il était très élégant.

I heard through the grapevine that Windows 8 was coming out. I was unsure whether I would get the upgrade. I stayed with Windows 7 on my main machine, and downloaded and ran Puppy Linux on my laptop. I was visiting my dad and he was having troubles with Windows 7 so he had upgraded to Windows 8. He was having significant issues with some of his old apps which failed to work. I managed to get all but one working after several long, frustrating hours. It was then I decided to never purchase another OS again. | I heard through the grapevine that Windows 8 was coming out.

**I am currently on release 18.04, Bionic Beaver. I look forward to many more years with Linux, specifically Ubuntu. I was disappointed with the discontinuation of support of 32-bit systems. But I bought a new 64-bit PC. My favourite part was blowing away the Windows 10 partition and loading with a brand new copy of Ubuntu! Long Live Ubuntu! ** | **I am currently on release 18.04, Bionic Beaver. I look forward to many more years with Linux, specifically Ubuntu.
