When I was working with Quality, we had a guy who pretty much had a monopoly on 
PC Transporter knowledge.  He eventually left us, and while the other gent in 
support was PC-savvy, for whatever reason, it fell up on me to pick up the 
gauntlet and take over.  So, I bought my first copy of PC DOS (4.01, with its 
new DOS Shell, oooh, exciting!), and installed it on the PC Transporter.  Over 
the next couple of years, I got good with the thing, and it was about two years 
before I actually got to actually put my hands on a PC clone and do work on it. 
To this day, I have a good chuckle about having learned my basic PC skills on a 
computer made by Apple. :-)

As I recall, Windows 3.0 was fairly painful on the PCT (yeah, yeah, I know, 
"It's painful anyways." :).
