Oh and I used to have Tandy's Deskmate on my old TL/2 and Tl/3 systems. It was built into a ROM, all you had to do was hit F12...

That reminds me of an old Mac I had. You put a disc in and try to install a program. "Error, not enough RAM". You try to eject the disk. "Error, not enough RAM". You try to shut it down. "Error, not enough RAM" Screw you, Mac.

I have a laptop stored back at my parents' house that runs DOS 2.11. Toshiba T100, I think, from 1989. It's badass in that old sort of way...80x20 (or whatever) character monochrome lcd, no backlight, and a 3.5" floppy. I've used Windows 1.01 before, once, in a VM, because I was bored.

I used Windows 95 last year in a VM to watch some old school CGI videos that were in a format that required a player which I couldn't get to run in XP. "Mind's Eye" if you're bored and wanna torrent it. State of the art rendering for the early 90s. Has a good soundtrack, too.
