I remember the days of DOS and GEM GUI (I think) as well as windows when it was just a means of file browsing.. Ahhhhh the memories!

Hhmm I've used DOS and 3.1. Didn't come across the earlier windows versions.

I remember before dos, gw basic and comal (not cobal, I never used that one), and dos 3.1, 5 and I think 6.2 was the last one, my first windows was 3.0, can't remember seeing 1 or 2, and 3.0 did not have a mouse yet, lol

I remember DOS 2.1 and up as well as DR DOS 5 (better than DOS at the time). They all had there little quirks but then PC had no RAM or large storage device and getting programs to work took hours.

That takes me back.....

I sort of got into the PC when I was in my early 20's and the state of the art Consumer PC at that time was based on a 486dx2-66 and where for example an 8MB (MegaBytes) of ram module would cost £300-400!
I used to Run initially Dos 6.0 and WFWG (Windows for WorkGroups) 3.11.

To run games I used QuarterDeck's Qemm Memory management software so I could use past the Dos barrier of 640KB easily, so some games (which I still have) could make use of the available extended memory ie the rest of your system ram if you had any extra.

For Anti Virus I had Norton's Dos Version 3.0 (may have been earlier), where the virus definitions would be sent to you monthly through the post on a 1.44 Floppy Disk.
