> I agree with the sentiments. I don't agree with the notion of the good-old days however. It only takes 5 minutes on a PC running Windows 3.1 to remind me how much of pain those days were at times - at least in comparison to now. I think, even back in the day, not many people were excited about running Windows 3.1. Early 90s, the excitement was probably more on the Mac, BeOS or maybe even still the Amiga. If you already had access to the internet, then there was of course the release of Linux. Edit: Oh, I forgot about the Apple Newton. Now that was a piece of hardware that seemed to haven fallen out of a time machine. I never owned one myself but around 2000 I worked for a few weeks with somebody who had one. That machine made my Palm IIIx look like a simple paper clip.
