Re: End of an Era (windows)
Win 3.11, haven't seen one of those in ages. I vaguely remember some green desktop. Win 95 looked slick in comparison.

Re: End of an Era (windows)
I still have a running Windows 3.1 computer back home. I play all my old games on it.

Re: End of an Era (windows)
I don't think have any games left that can't be played on Win XP. I don't know what have happened to them.

Re: End of an Era (windows)
I still have a bunch of the old games from DOS 5.x and 6.x. You like the old Zorks, M&M, and Seirra stuff. Anyone remember Frontier Pharmacist? Some were/are on 5" floppies, or 3" floppies.

Re: End of an Era (windows)
Wasn't that like "Freddie Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist" or something similar?
Never played it... at least, not for long.

Re: End of an Era (windows)
Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. As we were talking I mentioned having recently installed Windows Vista on my PC and that I am very happy with this operating system. I also showed him the Windows Vista CD, and to my surprise he threw it into my micro-wave oven and turned on the oven. Instantly I got very upset, because the CD had become precious to me, but he said: "Do not worry, it is unharmed."
After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said: "Take a close look at it." To my surprise the CD was quite cold to touch and it seemed to be heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but then on the inner edge of the central hole I saw an inscription; an inscription finer than anything I have ever seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth: 4F6E65204F5320746F2072756C65207468656D20616C6C2C20 4F6E65204F5320746 F2066696E64207468656D2CDA4F6E65204F5320746F2062726 96E67207468656D20 616C6C20616E6420696E20746865206461726B6E6573732062 696E64207468656D "I cannot understand the fiery letters," I said. "No," he said, "but I can. The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common English this is what it says: One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
