Hi Karl. Since I am 56, may I correct you in a few things? I do it anyway.
MS-DOS was only free to thieves. All operating systems back did cost money.
And no, although I am > 50, I started LIMB, later UNIX and CPM, then 
again later concurrent DOS and in between it all, both MAC and operating 
systems most people have never heard about.
My point is, your statistics are not totally correct.
