Compuserve Nostalgia

Thanks for your post!

there were some wonderful Compuserve forums

Ah, yes there were...sorry to digress from the ADD discussion, but Compuserve is where I started out too, with the DOS interface...only old fogey's like me remember DOS!!...

Re: The 7 Types of ADD

Steve, what forums did you belong to? That's where I learned all about computers, and met so many people who were nifty then, famous now. <g>

I don't remember if I was on CompuServe with DOS although I railed against "Windows" because I was so expert in WP and DOS. But, unlike you, I am NOT a fogey.

Did you check out her page vs. Amen's?

Have not yet, but I will, because it's a subject in which I am interested. Lots of chores on my ToDo list today..

Me too!

I'll try to remember, and perhaps will think of some others as we go along.

For sure, the RV Forum, on which I was a Sysop (moderator for non Compuserve folks) That Forum continues to this day and has grown to be a major player in RV'ing

The RV Forum Community

There was a great Forum dealing with Tourette Syndrome in which I participated as well, and met some very interesting and influential people in the TS community.

Then there was the Cooks Forum, which was a favorite of mine, and for a while I sysoped on a "Collectors'Forum, but I don't recall what it was called.

There's not much left of CS, but I do follow the Windows related Forums since there are still quite a few very knowledgeable people there, many from the "old days"

What were your interests on CS?

Oh gosh I remember DOS and dual floppy drives :lol: . I guess that makes me an old fogey too haha!

Me too. The first PC I ever used was an HP lab model and the storage was a cassette drive. Very slow but with some ingenuity in programming I was able to do some fairly complicated statistical analyses with it. It also cost $50,000 although at least half of that was an interface for the lab.

I remember when the first Apple computer came out. Now that was a remarkable advance back then.
