      was that the one which looked like file manager. I remember using an early version which had none of the bells and whistles of win3.0.

      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

          Windows 95

          Windows 98

            Windows 1.0 looks uncannily like the latest Linux desktop. Looks like the Penguin is catching up fast.
