So, like you that was my starting point that completely tweaked my interest in computers, everything else I know today was self taught as well, just like you, once ya know the basics, the rest is easy to pick up. It was an office course, so it didn’t get really deep inside, just this is memory ( RAM, didn’t learn ROM till later on my own ), this is a hard drive, this is a 5.25″ DD Floppy ( and about 3 months info the course the school finally got with it and we all got 2.5″ HD drives ) this is a keyboard and this is a mouse, which was very rudimentary at the time, this is Word Perfect ( love it, I have MS Office 2019, but still have WP Office Suite X9 and love it, still a huge WP, Presentations and Quattro Pro fan, I have 2020, but haven’t tried it yet ).
Hey!! I just read your skills info thing under your name, we are identical in every way!! I started getting serious about them in 1996 after just poking around for a year before and I started with the exact same software as you, took a small Office Technology course in 1996 learned the basics about DOS, Windows, all the peripherals and other parts and pieces inside and typing.
