Topic: Bill Gates

Bill Gates teaches a kindergarten class to count to ten.

 “1, 2, 3, 3.1, 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10.”

   The only two I haven't used were Vista and 8.  But wasn't there also an 8.1?

Didn't know there were  1 and 2 incarnations before 3.0...they must have been really good 

[Clive]

Yes there were.  But both were very primitive and looked nothing like Windows 3.

Windows 3.0 was primitive enough. 1 and 2 must have been positively Neanderthal

They were not much more than File Explorer.  Graphics didn't appear until 3.0 which was a dull version of 3.1.   I think there was a version called Windows NT following on from 3.1.

I think NT was the networked version of win95.

I have a feeling that Mrs Clive used it for a while but she is now Apple to the core.

I have a iPad that is used infrequently and Mrs Den has one which has cost me a fortune because she has discovered Ebay.

I would rather my desktop any day but very rarely use my laptop as I find it so slow compared. I'm thinking of fitting a SSD in the laptop in the hope it makes it just like the desktop. 

Apple are bringing out a new operating system for iPads which should improve them a lot and the IOS will only be for phones and older iPads.

Mrs Clive's iPad had an update yesterday but it didn't suffer any ill effects.

Wait for the peel of laughter

And I've just pipped simon to his next post 

[Clive]

He'll be in a bit of a stew after this.
