My Computer Journey
The Beginning: TK85
I have started with computers when I was around 8 years old as a certain uncle gave me a computer which he was not using anymore and like that I started on my first computer experience using a TK85 micro computer.
Basically I started up learning a little bit of BASIC, to create "flying lines" in small programs that could only run only while in RAM, so everything needed to be coded at the moment of execution. It was good to have a sense of what a computer was.


Little Upgrade: The TK2000 Color
After my uncle gave up on his next computer in line, the TK2000, he already knew what to do with it. Give to ME!
Now I had a color computer, where I could create even more complex and colored "flying lines" and now I could get to save them in K7 tapes! UHU!
Then I Was Fortunate: PC XT 8088
The same uncle, who had a couple of small businesses and at some point hired me as a general helper / assistant.
Right before I got started there, he had bought a PC XT 8088 and didn't really had done much on it. I got him really brand new, if I were there a few days earlier, I would help him to unbox it.
From there, I had to get acquainted with MS-DOS and other few programs that were around. And In no time, I found my self understanding booting, formating and doing several different things on that computer, including some batch programming.


Then Came Novell Netware
Time has passed a while and I was already getting around 286, 386 and 486 computers. Had quite a good experience in installing, completely assembling it, formatting MFM-RLL disks and so forth. A few MS DOS versions also had passed.
Then came Junior, a very good friend of mine, who once brought in several installation disks for Novell Netware. We spent hours configuring and learning about networking, permissions, and server management.
