It's still funny. All you need is a memory, and a sense of humor.

Feels like something that someone pulled from Usenet and turned into a web page, back when the internet was still interesting.

And be born more than 25 years ago and had access to these computers.

Even though I'm old enough to have used DOS as a kid, my grade school didn't have any computers for student use. I jumped immediately to Windows 95 from DOS, but never used it for more than playing games and Microsoft Office.

I encountered macOS 8 in High School but only used them for Logo (turtles!).

So I really don't get the article.

You can try all these systems today, if you're interested.
