Today I learned that there is a version of Putty (a popular SSH client) for Windows 3.1! That's just awesome! Available here: https://t.co/tR6viMFSuo

One of my favourite DOS pinball tables of all time - many ramps, cool features, a BANGER soundtrack, love the art - the only thing I'd change is that effect where sometimes the ball becomes a badly animated vinyl record that's hard to see.

Seems like a positive step. I'm critical of Apple for many reasons (ok fine, the reasons are all basically different aspects of "being way too proprietary"), but they have done some important good things in protecting user privacy.

Happy 27th Birthday FrontPage 1.0

In November 1995, Vermeer Technologies developed the FrontPage 1.0 editor for WYSIWYG web development. In January 1996, Microsoft bought Vermeer and, in June, released an editor called Microsoft FrontPage 1.1

@RetroTechDreams Is this photoshopped? What’s going on with the Java menu item? Also the Start button should be pressed down.

[aaron @aaron_k6]

@jeangleur Yes, by using a 3rd-party client. I’m using TweetBot and don’t see any ads. There are some restrictions though (i.e. delayed DMs, no polls).

pifmgr.dll is still included in Windows 11 and still, to this day, contains a bunch of random-ass 16-colour icons from Windows 3.x that have nothing to do with computing

Emojis and ASCII art have been around a lot longer than you think!
