I was an OS/2 bigot in those days.

Seems like I was a late starter, with my superfast 386/sx 8Mhz with the Turbo button that would accelerate it to 16 Mhz. And with the Textus program the machine was way better than the IBM typewriter because you could even design forms into it. Awesome. Just installing Office 4.0 from the 40 floppy disks was a hassle…

my first was a TRS-80 with a big 8 inch floppy drive.

Yes! QEMM although I think it was originally QRAM?

Was the Quartrdeck product you’re thinking of QEMM? Sidekick, Magellan, XTree, PC Tools, 1-2-3, Wordstar, dBase… gone but not forgotten

Man, we’re old…
My first ‘computer’ was a Sinclair ZX 80 with a whopping 1 kilo(!)Byte of RAM.
Of course, when I read ‘PS/2′ in your post I thought you meant a Playstation
