To which Commodore Clifford replies...

I remember NT Workstation 4 very fondly.  I was running a business at the
time and had made a system for a client and as the DSP program dictated
at the time, you had to buy the OS's in a multi-pack.  So I used one of
them for the OS on my office machine.

Man, I loved that.  In fact, right now, I still have the "Prarie Wind"
background on my monitors.  I had been using other things, but one day I
just got tired of choosing and the nostalgia bug hit me.  Been with it
ever since.
