Did Windows 3.1 have a Paint program?

Also, this reminds me about how I used to carry around MiniVMac (a Macintosh emulator) running OS 7 on a thumb drive to keep random notes and drawings. It would be kind of cool if you could sign up an account on this site for that purpose.

Yes it did. I remember my brother and I "playing" Paint, thinking it was one of the best computer games out there.

He could add my implementation at http://canvaspaint.org -- just a few bugfixes and style changes to do :)

Awesome - I was just playing a JavaScript version of Lemmings: http://www.elizium.nu/scripts/lemmings/ . It's like I'm back in 1994 using the old '486!

I called my wife over and showed her how nerdy an upbringing I really had. I remember when 3.1 was new.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I always try ls even when I'm on the real windows terminal, and I suffer each time it happens. Fortunately it's a rare event.

One of the first things I do on a new windows box is put a batch file called ls.bat in a directory in my path that just calls dir!

Install powershell, or use win 7 (comes with powershell). It comes preconfigured with aliases for rm, ls, cat, etc...

Ha ha - I found that site in the first place because my wife saw me playing GoldRunner on KDE and freaked out. "Oh my gosh - is that LEMMINGS!?" That, of course, made me freak out. "You know about LEMMINGS!?" So I just HAD to play Lemmings that day.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/131764/recursive.png Well, somebody had to. I could get it to nest 10-fold, but after that the innermost browser window was unresponsive.

I browsed to my blog which has a frame breaker - http://alicious.com/2009/remove-digg-bar-from-website/ - and it broke out... had forgotten I had the frame breaker until then.
