I probably wasn't that aware of things like this at that time.

8^) No, I was still using MSDOS at that time.

I was reluctant to go past W2k, but after I installed XP, I wondered how I
got along without it for as long as I did.

 RC> Your buddy Bob Klahn still misses DOS.

Who? 8^)  When I installed 3.11, I wasn't very happy with that OS. I
installed it on my dad's computer to his protests over not wanting to
play games. He got over that crappy OS and enjoyed the card games I put
on it. He was a DOS user too. I skipped over 95 and went straight for
W98...Dunno where that hard-drive is now, but I'm not anxious to go back
to that one.
