I'd got a 386 (win 3.1) to write poetry and do graphics with CorelDraw 2 and Aldus PageMaker. Using those frequently crashed win 3.1, and I found I had a knack for getting the computer up and running again. I was doing brochures for a local non-profit, who had a donor database that no one could manage, and there you go.
