I started out with an ADAM computer (a computer version of the Colecovision) and was programming in basic with it as young as 7-8 years old.
It wasn't until about 1988 when I touched a PC and about 1990 or so before I could consider myself experienced with MS-DOS.
Funny how I never did get into computer programming. I took a class in turbo Pascal and that pretty much ruined the programming experience for me.
As far as closing programs goes.. well I was as shocked about this as you are! Sometimes pressing the MENU button will bring up options which let you close it. Other times pressing BACK while in the main program menu will close it. Other than that all you can do is to go to settings/applications and close each one manually or use a third party app.
While google may do better with background tasks than microsoft, I'd still like to have an easy way to close a program (and also to decide what loads on bootup).
