Haven't they just ;D I still have windows 3.1 somewhere. Wasn't it all on five floppies with an MS DOS disc? That said, modern software is light years away now.  |

I just installed a Netware 6.5 Server. Anyone remember Netware? It was truly excellent. None of this stupid "Active Directory" shite. It actually worked. No Backup domain Controllers. Netware (with NDS) was a truly distributed system.
Anyway, I just installed one as a virtual server, using VMware. So it'll sit there and do it's thing (mailing lists) until well after I'm dead. Unlike a Windoze Server. And it's running on DOS.

I remember being summonsed back to our office to be shown an early demo of windows, version 2.03, came on two floppies, we all (computer engineers) studied it in strange wonder then the coment 'that won't catch on' came and we all went for lunch! Long live DOS !  |

Somewhere around here, I have a stack of Finale floppies.
Also, in my desk is a 400K floppy containing Mac OS ONE. The entire OS, a few pieces of software, and ample file storage all fit on that one floppy!
