So, what's the proper OS for a Neander computer user? ;-)

DOS 3.1 of course.

Unless OS/MFT or Multics will fit on a desktop :-).

... or just load up whatever Babbage was using.

Factoid: Lady Lovelace had the software ready, but Babbage never completed the
hardware required to run it.


Kind of an ironic historical twist, isn't it? Probably the only time in
history the hardware availability lagged the software. (Well, at least in
my world that's the case).
