Apple DOS
1980–1998
My first operating system! I loved it so much. After 1987ish I stopped using it until one more time to touch it in 1998. Of course, they kept my son on it through elementary school which ended in 2001.
MS-DOS
1987–2006
I think I first started on a girlfriend's dad's desktop getting an ancient computer game called 'Bushido' to play. Last time I touched MS-Dos was probably around December of 2006.
Windows 3.1
1994–1996
Used it for work and the odd video game. Favorite video game were these two airplane turn based games. One had jets and the other had WWII prop planes.
Windows 95
1995–1998
I'm pretty sure I started in 1995. Used it for work and games until Win98 came out.
Windows 98
1998–2000
How could you not go wrong with this winner? I mean, Microsoft spent so much on marketing it had to be good!
NeXTSTEP
1998
I got a couple NeXT pizza boxes as a present. Played with it for a bit and then went back to Windows. What was I thinking? The pizza platters are in storage. The monitor got accidentally tossed by my son in January and was rained on before I could rescue it.
Linux
1999–2010
I started with a book that had a Redhat CD.
Windows 2000
2000–2001
Um.. yeah.
Windows Me
2000–2002
On my desk top at home it actually worked pretty well. Until some idiot opened up Internet Exploder (which I had hid) and then it was all downhill as the viruses took over.
Windows XP
2002–2009
My work environment for years. In 2007 it became just for games. After 2008 it became just for World of Warcraft. In 2009 I dropped that game and started my life over partly because others did not drop the game.
Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger)
2006
The first Mac I played with used this but had a bad power connector. Sometimes the machine just shutdown. I used it to store pictures on my first trip outside the USA.
Ubuntu
2006–
I think I started with it in 2006. I installed it on a Desktop machine and experience joy. Used it intermittently ever since.
Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard)
2007–2010
Where I picked up steam on the Mac.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux
2008–2010
Just a cursory understanding.
Mac OS X v10.6 (Snow Leopard)
2010–
Finally bought my first personal machine.
