I finished correcting my students' midterm exams this morning. I followed this by entering all the marks into the online BCIT grade book. Of course this left me a bit tired and so I really couldn't think of what to include for today's entry in my eJournal and images blog.
Then suddenly came to me. It actually arrived in the form of an email from an ex-student in the United Arab Emirates. He's one of those people who always sends around emails containing photos and whatnot which he finds interesting. Although I'd prefer he get a facebook page and do it on his own wall, the mail is generally quite useful.
Today, he brought back a lot of memories by including images of the various incarnations of computer screens I've stared at over the years. The screenshots were lovely and large. However, I'm hosting my own images for this blog, so I editting them down in size.
Yes, I did once run Windows 2. I think it was a special version designed for the hot new chip called a 286! If I remember V3.1 was much more robust than straight version 3 because it included rudimentary network support. Windows 95 came next for me and I was suckered into the ME version although not much had changed. XP is something of a staple and although quite long in the tooth, it's still running on my new netbook. I have used Windows Vista since it's launch and have never experienced a lick of trouble. I tried running beta 7 on my old laptop and was impressed. I'm quite excited and looking forward to its eventual release. As soon as Windows 7 hits the shelf, a copy will be running on my home PC.
