then again, not until 1994 I really start to enjoy computers...
Why not? I enjoyed DOS programs from '85 to '91 or so: Norton Commander, Javelin, Lotus 1-2-3, dBase, Paradox, Norton Utilities...
And then a little later came Doom and Heretic and Hexen.
I couldn't afford PC in that time...
Yeah, they were expensive back then. I think my Dad gave me my first PC (an 8086).
Today USD 1500 will get you a nice PC. That's 174758 RSD. Will that buy you a good system over there? Is that expensive relative to rent and food and gasoline?
I worked with PCs but I wanted an Apple. They were initially too expensive so I waited until the IIe came down to around $1500.00, which was still a bit of $$ back then.
