Remembering (bad) History

My wife was recently cleaning the office. One of the books on the shelf she decided to toss, with good reason, was “Windows for Dummies“. Now, this book is not about Windows XP. Not Windows 2000. Not Windows NT. Not Windows Bob. Not even Windows 95/98. Nope, “Windows 3.1 for Dummies”.

Looking through the book reminds me that, for all our bitching about M$, they have improved. Remember program groups. Program manager. Ugly windows, fonts, and colors. File Manager. Running out of system resources. Enhanced 386 mode. Unexpected DOS Error #11.

Yup, those were the (ahem) good old days. Now where did I put my Lisa?
