A long time ago I used to train people on creating and using computer databases. I was remembering with fondness the magical interface that was a key feature of dBase II. All later incarnations of dBase had a more involved menu structure and a variety of display options available - such is progress :)
Anyway - I thought it would be interesting for anyone who might accidentally stumble across this blog, to show an example of 'real' computing back in the days...
A quick image search didn't show anything of use so I will have to recreate the fun using Paint...

Yes - the rather sexy 'dot' prompt. How incredibly cool was that as a designed interface?
