So I had to ask my dad on this one. But here goes.

OS was MS-DOS 4.0

Computer stuff:
The very first was a Leading Edge Model D, 8088 proc, 8mhz, 640k ram, 360k floppy
and a 10meg MFM HD.  IT was awesome.  Then I put in an accelerator board
bringing it to a 80286 w/co proc, 20 mhz, and upped the memory to 1024k and added
a 20meg RLL HD where the floppy was, put an external bay on it with a 1.2
and a 1.44 floppies in it.
Still had the amber mga card.

First linux distro, ubuntu dapper drake.
