      Damn. Look at the directory listing for c:\windows for Windows 1.04.

      That’s all there was to it.

            It would have been. From what I understand, Windows 1 wasn’t much more than a glorified menu system and a shared clipboard.

            A search tells me the gorilla game came out in 1990. You can play it here:

            Qbasic - Gorillas

              @Hog that’s it. That and mine sweeper. People were fired at work for playing those games. Solitaire and Mahjongg were big ones to.

                vi was written in 1976.

                And 10 years later it was surpassed by a far superior editor!!!

                Ok boomer!!!

                    Don’t worry, you’ll be able to go back to manual-save-only Notepad if you want.

                    OMG. Auto-save now in Notepad. What’s next? AI integration?

                                Google thinks Shorts-style videos in the Play Store will supercharge app discovery

                                Yeah that’s exactly what it needs. I was starting to worry I could still see the actual search results even with the ads, “limited time events”, more ads, “you might also like”, and “similar apps” sections crammed into the search results.

                                    Otherwise said: It will render dozens of wind turbines obsolete…

                                    Now if they could only make batteries that thin and powerful.
