Right on, Jafo & nightbirdsf...I'm a wee younger (38) but always enjoy hearing other old school testimonies Web 2.0? Bah! The first time I ever felt connected to the world was CompuServe, chatting and playing games with people across the country (until the bill came, at least) </fo

What's funny for me is hearing younger folks complain about their Internet connection speed. "I'm only getting 5MB down and 1MB up! This sucks!" Egads. I'm sure many of you will recall the days of 110 & 300 baud (6.95/hour on CompuServe), when having a 1200 or 2400 modem meant you were FILTHY RICH and could pay the 12.95/hour rate

Well I can sort of relate. I felt like punching a wall awhile back as well, my mom was going through some bad alcoholic spells and it also felt like I was taking care of a kid. I went home one weekend and spent the whole time cleaning up the house and making sure she didn't sneak any drinks in while I was there. Fun stuff.

Ack! They look great, but I hope they leave previous versions intact...I kind of like the charm of Minesweeper and Solitaire (Freecell too), they way they looked from the 3.1 days. Still play them, too

Awesome! Thanks for the continued coverage of Vista...you're a lucky dude. I got to beta test Win95 prior to release and it was a blast seeing what each new build would bring and what MS was experimenting with. Must be fun

Thanks for the link, a great read! I grew up with the Apple II and Atari computers and finally Windows 3.0, and love reading about the histories of machines and software we're using today. It must've been quite an experience to be a programmer back then!
