Pfft. I remember DOS 3.0. My back hurts only occasionally but my knees and hips hurt quite often.

Son, I remember having to write my own boot disks to start in EMS memory instead of the default XMS so that I could run TIE Fighter on DOS 6.1, Windows 98 is what I used in college.

My left ankle, and along the outside of my left leg, lower back, calves at least once a week, wrists tend to get achy in the winter.. Also had my first hemorrhoid recently, that was a fun new kind of pain.

My foot hurts because I'm tired, but it's done that since I was 16 and using Windows Vista

It's my middle back, right shoulder, both knees and a slew of other things. That being said, my lower back is fine currently.

Back when operating system games didn't come with online features, ads all over the place and stores.

Haha. Hahaha. My back doesn't hurt!

None of my body actually works, but it doesn't hurt either (until I try to do something), so ner :p

Oh and when it's cold. And when I lay flat. 😅 But, most of the time it doesn't 🤭

Forget Windows, I'm this old: You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here

Win98 was new tech. I mostly remember Win 3.1

I remember switchcing from 3.0 to 3.1 and booting up from dos.

I remembering transitioning from DOS into 3.1, i used to be really good and navigating DOS, now i can barely run the command prompt, windows really did spoil us.

Well there was something I used before. It was a DOS menu structure (can't exactly call it a GUI) but too young to remember what that was, though do remember using it plenty of times to play The Incredible Machine

So I guess this is the comment where the geriatrics hand out... I remember writing BASIC on the Commodore 64.

ZX Spectrum but otherwise correct.
