Computers: Windows95 System utilities, Enhancements and everyting that improoves

slugishness of Windows (I love PowerPro and ZipMagic i.e.) I was first interested by computers in 1981, when the (legendary) Sinclair ZX-81 was introduced. We had our school organize computer course for students and couple of friends and I applied. My first computer was an Oric-1 (anyone remember?). Then I bought Commodore 64, and an Atari 1040ST afterwards. After a year or so, I "upgraded" to Atari Mega ST2, and then to Mega ST4. Now I own an Pentium box with Celeron at 525Mhz. I still consider Atari TOS to be the best operating system ever written, and Atari ST the best hardware ever made. A pity Atari didn't make it, and we all have to use Windoze. I don't like Macintosh very much, I consider it a computer for dummies. Atari ST's TOS operating system was the best balance between (then) Macintosh user-friendly, and PC useability.

 

Food: I love everything that includes meat, ie. steaks (all kinds), hamburgers (not McDonalds!), Serbian cusine (cevapcici, raznjici, musaka, gurmanska pljeskavice [Mirche, take a note!] etc.)
