Ahhh, the Hot Dog Stand color scheme. Used to change to that whenever someone was foolish enough to leave their computer for more than a minute. WfW v3.11 was my favorite 'cause it was 'networked' and you could play hearts against your coworkers all day long

My five year old son came home from kindergarten and reported "I showed Mrs. Northey how to get out of windows."
Wife & I: " ? " (Okay, first floor classroom, but...)
Son: "Alt-F4!" - 3/12/14, 2:11 PM

In 1995,I operated my computer from the command line C: prompt which was a much faster way to load programs than the kludgy, memory-eating Windows 3 interface.
Back then Windows was an afterthought mounted on top of DOS. and face it, those 1995 era PC's were really slow and most internet connections were dial-up with no GUI. Remember the command driven Lotus 123 spreadsheet and WordPerfect, the ultimate word processor? Those were the days! - 3/13/14, 12:25 AM

I was listening to a computer salesman ask me why I "needed" a 500MB hard drive... when I was building databases greater than 2GB with Paradox 4.0.
