sorry for the really really really really poor quality of it...

# solitare
hasn't changed since windows 3.11, all that's different is the backs of the cards in xp (and maybe 2k/Me)

*FACT*

actually, you can right-click to put any cards that can go up to the top up to the top which I'm pretty sure you can't in 3.1/3.11/95/98/Me... could be wrong though...

# the whole game
hasn't had any major updates since 3.11

a lot like most of windows really.

but unlike windows, it hasn't been changed because you can't change a classic can you??? of course, windows hasn't changed because they just can't be arsed to...

# The 3.11 era was a golden age of computing.
At least, it is to me.

Probably because that's when I bought a PC. Oh, happy days of reading the MS-DOS manual (usually at bedtime) and re-writing autoexec.bat and config.sys for my friends... *sigh*

# i properly started
around 95.

but had much fun in dos 6.22 on my 486 :-)

# I miss DOS.
You could look really clever using it, even though you were doing something ridiculously simple.
Oh, how I'd pour quiet scorn on people with only MS-DOS 6.2 (or 5! Ha!) and Windows 3.1...

# the trick to look clever
not only in dos, but on any computer system, is to work very, very quickly

# True, very true.
But nothing really beats typing non-words into a text prompt:

"What's that your typing? cd? Wossat? see, colon, slice, windows, slice..."
"How come when you type D I R it comes up in a table? I just get a big list that runs of the top of the screen..."
Total bafflement! Woo!
I'm pretty sure I'm doing a terrible disservice, here, to everyone who knows me.

# How do you do the DIR trick?
I always wondered...

but at the time I was using my ADB mouse to run a 'proper' operating system...

Where did Apple go wrong?

# Learn how to use a Unix shell
(get cygwin if you don't want to install a different OS on your computer). Using the command line always impresses people. Not the laydeez though, unfortunately.

# I think GUIs have ruined me now.
I'm slightly terrified of command line interfaces now. :(
Mind you, my girlfriend's mum is a programmer, and I know me using Unix would impress her...

either marry your girlfriend (or her mum?) or to get a job as a Unix geek, that'd not be worth the effort, I guess.

# Youngsters, eh?
I started in 1984 on a VIC 20 ... didn't have any software, so I had to write my own games.
