Thats interesting. I didn't know that. I just got rid of my old Tandy 1000. It had two floppy drives (both 3 1/2) and enough chip memory to hold MS-DOS. I had also recently rid myself of my old IBM that ran WIndows 3.1 with 72 mb of memory. Those are the computers I learned QBasic on. So happy (belated) birthday windows, and keep up the good work Microsoft!

Congrats Microsoft, what are you gonna dominate next? Microsoft is pretty cool though, can't wait until Longhorn.
And, why do you like DOS? Wouldn't you rather start up a game and play it immediatley, instead of typing in 2 hours worth of code and stuff? |

Happy Birthday Windows, you're now 20 years closer to ruling the world
. But yeah that's a pretty cool fact, I never heard that one before. So is that the day it came out? Or when it first began to function? |
