I was telling someone earlier today about the days when you had to type WIN to run Windows.

I miss those days...

Some times.

Especially when you are trying to manually push the limits, or tweak a process, on some system/chunk of hardware.

We had to learn Windows 5.0 and 5.1, the latter of which used a mouse. We didn’t use one, so...yeah. Typing WIN just to get into it. And the 5” floppies.

Those were the days. It was a fun time. Until the riots. They rioted me right out of a job, and I had to go back to Vegas to find work.
