Re: Win 1.0

Speaking of the archaic OSes... A lot of people don't realize, that now with the powerful CPU's we have you can emulate ANY of those old 8/16 bit computers.

For those of you unfamiliar with emulation... it simply means you can buy/download software that will make your PC run as if it is a Commadore 64, or an Apple IIe, or even an Atari 2600! A buddy of mine has EVERY Atari 2600 game, saved to a single CD, and can play them all on his personal computer. Other than using a keyboard as a controller, you can't tell a difference.

So, I'll bet, you could run Windows 1.0 in a DOS window on a Window 9x machine. Not that anyone would want to, but for nostalgia's sake.
