I think they meant Windows 286. Back then we called Windows the bastard child of DOSShell. I was so excited the day I finally upgraded my computer so I could run Windows. Had a blast for about a week (so
this is cutting edge computing) then the beastly instability began to grate on me. Finally, one day, after finding myself kicked out to the DOS prompt once too many times, I blew Windows away and went back to DOS. Didn't touch Windows again until '95 (by which point I was working for Microsoft providing DOS and Windows support).

Mine, as well: a TRS-80 Model IV with the 32kb upgrade, running Montezuma Micro CP/M (later upgraded to NZ-COM). Two internal 5.25" and 2 external 8" drives. Gawd I miss that machine.
Turbo Pascal 3.02 -- still my sentimental favorite IDE. And WOW! was it fast.
