I can remember operating microsoft word in DOS, which looked quite similar on a monochrome (non-flat) screen.
And by remembering this, i also recalled Eliza, my first commandline encounter of AI (oldschool insiders may lol here).
We didn't even have internet by this time, about the early 1990's, which was installed later in 1994 at my parent's house, when i was already operating Cubase Audio (4 Stereo tracks!) via mouse and keyboard in Windows, on Intel 486 or early pentium (75 or 90 mHz) CPU. 30 years...
