Commodore sold C64's that caught fire, but it was good enough because they had your money and it was just a box under a xmas tree for the first few weeks. > Windows 3.x was in that 'good enough' category as well, at least for > people who came from DOS.

It wasn't until Amiga 3.1 and Windows 3.11 that I thought either were good enough. Both required a lot of tweaking and extra software installed. I remember lots of fun with WinG and Win32S sample programs, but not too much in the way of real software that uses it. Windows 95 was the first time there was a good out of the box experience.Received on 2019-01-09 15:03:59
