This was my first (tiny) taste of a non-MS-DOS/Windows environment for PC. Back in middle school, circa 1997 or 98, with the tiny scraps of time I could get on an Internet connection with a web browser, I ended up using Infoseek (or similar) to look for software I could run on my 486 at home. Amusingly, I think this was on a Mac. One of the first things I found was Desktop2, but alas I never got it to run because the installer I downloaded ended up corrupted. Probably on account of using the Mac to download it and save it on a floppy (probably using the PC Exchange Mac extension?) Never actually saw the thing run until I YouTube'd it more than 20 years later. Shame I never got it to run - it looks like it actually would have been pretty useful and interesting. Not long after I found FreeBSD, got dialup at home, and embarked on a project to download and run that.
