It was one of those bright sunday afternoons but cold in the wind,
when I was hunting around in an old wardrobe and stumbled
across a box of "2.1 for Windows" blue spine and thought, HEY!
what the heck.

I had a spare drive, in a caddy, and we were off and and running

Do you remember ? -


After disk 4 you reinsert the disks installation and one
before continuing with the rest.
I wondered why the disk images weren't stored
in a temp directory to avoid this?

The properties / settings notebook was accessed
from the "Open" cascade menu.

The windows had no close button, I got caught 
diving for the top right corner every time :-)

There was a start button at the top of the desktop
which opened the online manual

Maybe an MS contribution


The productivity folder contained, among other things

database
spreadsheet
charting program
the usual planners/calender

*** the above got included into Works later on ***

sticky notes  ( remember them )
tune editor  ( I don't remember that one )
