What was the first thing you typed into a PC (or Homecomputer) ever?
I have no idea. Probably a keysmash as I would have been too young to type anything properly? The only stuff I remember typing very early in my computer adventures were on my dad's Compaq Presario 700 with XP Pro on it: typing HTML in Notepad, writing other web pages using Word 2003 and Publisher 2003, or typing commands in the MS-DOS prompt or in .bat
files without understanding them (I really only understood echo
, pause
and color
, and typed sc queryex
or used a lot of %RANDOM%
to print random gibberish and sound like a hacker)
