    I think Windows 3.0 will get a lot of attention; people will check it out, and before long they'll all drift back to raw DOS.

    i used window 3.1 till about 1998.

    "So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, what do you think about funding us? Or we'l give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary; we'll come work for you.' And they said, No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't gotten through college yet." Apple Computer Inc founder Steven Jobs on attempts to get Atari and HP interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer in 1976

    This is the one !!
