  1. When you said CD = Change Directory, I went into a time warp. I bought my first PC in 1984. It had a massive 10 meg hard drive! I knew absolutely nothing about computers. Didn't even know anyone who had one. The computer came with a thick three-ring binder with the title, DOS. I read and reread and reread the entire book until it started to make sense. (The first version of Windows didn't come out until 1985.) In 1985, I bought an early copy of Symantec's Q&A, a (non-Windows) word processor, flat file, and report generator, which relied heavily on keystroke combinations to get things done but was hinting at a graphical interface. I ran a non-profit for many years with Q&A and loved it, such an improvement from WordStar. So, now at 72-years-old, to see CD = Change Directory, I say to myself, "Hey, I can do this." Thanks for a good tutorial.

  5.  @h_r7708  That's quite a story. I enjoyed it. No, I wasn't rich. As I recall, and after all these years who knows, I think the whole computer cost around $800. Or was it $400? There was a "build it yourself" shop in Flint, Michigan. The owner helped put it together. I learned a lot! He couldn't wait to show me the Q&A program, write/file/report. I think it was about$300. I ran a small nonprofit with it for years. You take care too.

  6. @Noa Ella Thank you! There is always something new to learn. Now I am learning about (and doing) the Carnivore diet. Good health allows learning to continue!
