nev<p>so, when i was 8-9 or so—this would've been 1993-1994—we got our first home computer. however, bc broke single mom, it was not the latest and greatest. it was a secondhand Tandy of some kind, with a monochrome monitor (yellow on black). there was no mouse, and no internet connection. </p><p>it was graphical, with a desktop consisting of various applications in a sort of grid layout. we mostly used the text editor to write stories (printed out on a dot-matrix printer, natch), but there was also a game of hangman, a music application (I distinctly remember a delightfully screechy MIDI version of Pachelbel's Canon in D), and various businessy things like a contact manager and a database application that we had no use for.</p><p>anyway, i recently went on a deep dive to figure out what the operating system was, and it was some version of Tandy DeskMate: <a href="http://toastytech.com/guis/indexdm.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">toastytech.com/guis/indexdm.ht</span><span class="invisible">ml</span></a> <a href="https://winworldpc.com/product/tandy-deskmate/deskmate-3x" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">winworldpc.com/product/tandy-d</span><span class="invisible">eskmate/deskmate-3x</span></a></p><p>(the music application is only mentioned in the manual for Personal DeskMate2, and hangman in DeskMate 3. the drawing application that looks closest to what I remember is the v2 one. and, like I said, it was a monochrome monitor so things looked a little different than in the screenshots I've found online. I also remember a password-protected "diary" application, but maybe I'm misremembering and it was on a later computer.)</p><p><a href="https://bananachips.club/tags/computeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>computeing</span></a></p>
