Maybe... we'll have to see any of the other "ancients" remember Windows 2.0?

Windows 3.0 through Windows 3.11 is when I discovered Windows. Before that, I remember Quarterdeck's QEMM, QEMM-386, and their "Windows" offering. I stuck with MS-DOS 5.5, WordPerfect 5.1, and TurboPascal before making the leap to Windows 3.0.

I still have the manual, the license stuff, the 5.25" disks, and even the original box. Presentation manager version 2.0, product #050050.203. [Damn -- I just realized, I never mailed in my registration card. Maybe that's why windows has hated me all these years...]

V2.0 was black and white the next version was in colour wasn't it? Windows 286 or 386, I can't remember now. Heady days though.

No, I skipped from Windows 1.0 to Windows 3.0. Windows 1.0 was a pain, especially since it didn't like my mouse.

I liked Geos better in any case.

Geos, that was the alternative that I was trying to remember. I forget why I didn't stick with it for very long.

I missed out on Windows 1.0, there goes my bragging rights.
