Gee, do you suppose Bill Gates still has that spiffy blue shirt? Where oh where did he go wrong? ;o)
Thanks for the truly awesome post, Deane…I remember when that ad was first published. I was 5 years old at the time and my mom (who was an OS programmer for bell labs) was teaching me how to use one of the original IBM PC/XT machines. I saw that ad and promptly realized the future of GUIs and how lame my 5151 monitor was (yes, even at the age of 5).
I stumbled across your site a few weeks ago and it has provided me with many hours of entertaining reading while I should be doing other things at work. Keep ‘em coming!
