Our first computer was a Tandy Radio Shack TRS-80 MC-10 with 4 KB of RAM, but the thing is, I don't even know if what it came with could even qualify as a full-fledged operating system. After all, it just contained a barebones set of commands for loading and saving programs to cassette, for example. (Of course, that doesn't mean it wasn't a fun little machine to play with.)

I guess the first "real" OS I used was DOS 3.3 with our Apple //e.

How I loved the sound of that disk drive when you booted the system ... CRUNCH RAT TAT TAT TAT TAT TAT TAT ...

1982 or 83 with dos 1.1 I think.
I took a computer class in 1977 but quit because it was a joke. The teacher had us fill out cards for days to run the computer.

It's probably safe to say that it would suck if personal computers were still like that today.
