Mine was 2.11, on a Leading Edge Model D... forty years ago, give or take.

Not sure what the first version of DOS I used (might have been 3.3) but Dad had a Kaypro II which ran CP/M

I used Classic Shell to make it less enshittified and less "appy" with the junk that came with the OS.

I love Classic Shell. Don't know what I'd do without it. When I upgraded to W11, I also immediately looked for options to shift the taskbar to the left. I really dislike the default centered position as it feels like it wastes so much screen real-estate.

This talk of msdos.

Memory unlocked now of writing batch files old school. Used oen and paper to jot down what I wanted and then the commands. Typed the file once I was happy. Used to make small menus for running dos games.
