Facts of (my computing) life

• My first computer had this spec: 286 processor, 64 KB RAM,  10 MB Hard Drive. This hardware could hardly store or display one picture but it was bigger than a midi tower server.
• When Windows 3.1 came out, I hated it because of its resource-hungry nature (that never changed about windows). I couldn't get what the point of having a mouse pointer was.Hated it even more when I discovered that it wasn't a real operating system to begin with.
• My friend was very fascinated by the mouse, though. The first thing he did was grab it and hovered it in the air while watching the screen carefully. I never got to ask what he hoped to see on the screen.
• If it were not for software piracy, I'd never have learned anything about computers at all.
