Back in 1983, 25 years ago, the world was quite different. The market for the home computer - still a fairly new market - was wide open, but Apple was about to make a major splash with its Macintosh. It was also the year in which a company from Redmond first introduced its "Windows" operating system. What is this Windows you speak of?

What was really interesting about 1.0 was the lack of a mouse... Everything worked from the keyboard...
Maybe that's why Windows has always been better then Mac when it comes to the keyboard...
I was a Mac guy way back then, so WIndows was an interesting thing to see, but like others here have said, I was more interested in what Gem and others were doing, not to mention the Amiga of course...
Oh, anyway, Happy Birthday :-D
