My first computer was an IMSAI 8080 which I built in 1976.  I bought an 
XT clone in 1986 and ran DOS on it.  Then, in 1991, I got a 386 box, 
initially ran DOS 5 on it, but switched to OS/2 a year later.  I started 
working with Linux in the mid 90's but switched to is as my main OS in 
2002.  Incidentally, I was working with VAX/VMS before I ever touched 
DOS.  I therefore found DOS to be extremely limiting.
