My favorite (that I understand, though Linux is likely better) is DOS.

I was raised on MS-DOS 5.0(would make a cool T-shirt) and Windows 3.1

I was using it constantly from the very late 1980s up until late 1998, and was working with it on a more limited basis to this day with Q-Basic and my gransparent's old computer. That means 15 years of DOS usage...

Back in the late '80s, early '90s, my parents told me I could only use .COM and .EXE files to access things. I always thought it was a password thing or something when I was little....
Warranty-Voiding fun!
