Borland. Peter Norton? I know Symantic cobbled Peter up. But I've been rummaging around and found a box of old software.
1.Sprint 2.Quattro 3.Paradox 4.Sidekick Plus
1.Norton Utilities 2.4 and 4.01 Norton Commander 2.0 and 3.0 3.Norton Desktop for Win 3.1

I wax and wane nostalgia. Sorry.

Borland. I remember the time I used Borlands turbo pascal even before it was OO. And sidekick, boy did that program give trouble as a resident app!

I still keep a floppy loaded with debug script for wiping hard drives.
It's a nice way to releive aggression, pop down to BestBuy, reboot pc's with debug Script on floppy, and watch ensuing fun. Done very infrequently now as I have a Low Dr. Evil quotient, now a days.

You can still have it!

It's one of the first things that goes onto a cleanly installed PC when I'm around .
Maybe this should be in the "You and the Internet" sticky thread !?
