Ha ha ha ha!

Windows 3.1 wasn't a desktop enhancement... it is/was an OS.

With a DOS foundation. I never did figure out what DOS stood for or whether 3.1 came first or Workgroup.

*vague memories of 512mb and 500 mHz and a one gig Tower sold at Radio Shack for 600.00 USD*

D.isk O.perating S.ystem I believe. I think 3.1 came before Workgroups (3.11) and at one time 1MB of RAM was waaaaay more than any of us would ever need in our lifetime.

3.1 came out first. Workgroup was 3.11

I got started in 97 when Win 95 was all the rage. Two years later 98 was in.....a flop like Win 2000, ME and Vista. 98 SE fixed that. That was my favorite until XP came along. Didn't play much in Vista though. Notice how the even numbers do not favor Microstuff!

OMG do I feel ancient! I started out with MS-DOS 1.0 and worked up from there. But then again I started working computers so to speak when there were mainframes with just terminal printouts on paper back in the mid 1970's.

Just for comparison's sake...I saw a you tube video that depicted NASA's newest mainframe. The Pleiades Super Computer at the Ames Research Center. The guy showed a series of cabinets then opened one saying that inside are 512 processors and there are 110 cabinets. Each cabinet being a half a terabyte! I want one. 

Punch cards....late sixties...;)

You got me beat Paul!

Nope, Windows 98 and 2000 were both good. Yeah, WinME was a crashfest, although I used it for maybe 1-2 years. WinME was the first Windows OS with System Restore, though.
I skipped Vista too, am on Windows 7 now.

Fences is a mix between the Windows 3.x Program Manager (no Start menu until Windows 95!) and some Linux/KDE features, I hear.

When I was a programmer in the early 70's we had a univac 1005 (and IBM360-70 and a Burrows 6500), but the 1005 was a card reader, ya had to key punch your own programs and you had better not haqve any chads or ya was screwed.

I have teased the lead dev since prototypes that he should have called Fences "Program Manager" but then he hits me and I stop for a while.  

See?   Aversion therapy DOES work....;)
