re: #304 engineer dog

was windows 3.11 superior to anything?

i vividly remember the poor memory layout of win 3.1, where system memory that managed the GUI was apparently butt up against allocations for pgm memory. working in ā€˜Cā€™, all you had to do was overwrite outside of legal memory for a few bytes and pretty soon the system would be putting up funky ass semi transparent displays


It was superior to everything for untrained / new staff. That was the difference. They could see what to do. No more digging through limited mobility menus. That was my experience at work.
