I have a friend that also developed his own system at that time. His method of implementation was orders of magnitude faster in speed than Windows 1.0-3.1
Yes, I definitely remember that date because the Mac innovation (whether perceived or real) was a major breakthrough. Windows 1.0 was out soon after the Mac, but failed to come close in capability. Even Windows 3.1 in the early 90's was pretty bad, based on my memory and I was still using DOS at that time despite the 640 K barrier. I went directly from DOS to Win 95, cursing at every turn. After using unix and X-windows in school, the whole mess seemed very amateurish to me. I just don't know how the business world was so eager to go down that path.Remember the Mac was introduced in 1984, 11 years before Win 95.
