    Why wouldn't computer students have to write a program or two on punch cards and feed them to an old CDC pile of blinkenlights, and also toggle-in a bootstrap loader on a PDP-8 front-panel?

    on the other hand, MS will never release the code to Win 1.0 to the public domain. (even though you can still see what it looked like) or read the original article in Byte that announced it.

    I like this line describing Windows: "Microsoft Windows is an installable device driver under MS-DOS 2.0 using ordinary MS-DOS files." Look how far they have come [smile]
