@Petr Leliaev I remember commodor as personal computers and main frame stations in university. But I have had very limited experience with them. DOS didn't use mouse either.

I also remember Amstrad PC without Windows and even without a mouse, QBasic as a programming language, Lexicon as a text processor and ARJ as archiver (still remember how to pack and unpack files) :)

Assembly! to code Z80 processor using special machines, (similar to old typing machines) I actually had to push 0/1 hard buttons to write! The first OS I used was windows 3.1 and of course. NC(norton commander) was a high tech by then :))
