I started with Dos 2 in the 80's, then big change with dos3.3, till a page turned with dos4 and his dosshell introducing the window and program links concept- 90's. Souvenirs- in testing win 1.0, 2,0. Win 3.11 -w.f.workgroups- was great in this epoch. When came the challenge of 95, new features, new designs with their new behaviour problems train. Happy indeed with Vista today. About the calculator: Still here, for free, MS Calc+, a light weight calculator for current use and multiconverter with an amazing skin for a MS product.
