Man, I still remember when I first installed Windows 3.1... I thought it was such an improvement over 3.0! I never did get comfortable with Win95... I think I went from 3.1 on my home machine directly to Win98, after a hardware upgrade.

Best thing about being a geek's kid is you get really cool toys. We always had computers around. Dad would bring them home from work once they got obsolete and let us use them during the day. We had computer games that had to be launched from DOS... I had my first PC when I was eleven. I think it had Win 3.11 but it got upgraded to 95 pretty quickly. Or it seems that way... must have been a couple years, though.

Winders 3.x was an abomination before the Lord thy God. I'm pretty sure of this. Winders 98 was a compilation of bug fixes to Winders 95. :-)

Sure, I was a Mac Head from way early in the program, but I got better.

I was and continue to be, however, among the early fans of Whistler (Winders XP). This is very possibly the finest product that the lazy-M ranch (just a couple of miles away from my current location) has ever produced. They really got it right with this one.
