said Marvin Jones via tde-users: | Oh, I am a contrarian!! Never went beyond Win 3.1.

Started with OS/2 in the pre-2.0 days via their support forum on (of all things) Prodigy. In due course we got kicked off of Prodigy (which soon collapsed, though maybe there was no connection) and we did GEnie, Delphi, and finally a mailing list that kept going until a year or two ago. Still in touch with some of those folks. And still cranky that James P. Lennane, the publisher of the DeScribe Word Processor, never turned loose the code for a Linux version. (I've run the Windows version in a virtual machine; WINE, last time I tried it, was about as useful as Windows, running Solitaire perfectly but nothing else.) Lennane was a little nuts -- he actually ran for president in, I think, 1996. I do not believe he won. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
