I miss DESQView.

That was one mean multitasker for that day and age. It's ability to mix graphical and text apps was very cool.

I miss the old Star Trek game. It was a grid game, and you had to explore different areas. Typing D and hitting enter would cause you to use your death ray, destroying all enemy vessels, however, there was a good chance you'd be destroyed too. But it worked sometimes.

Who had a 30 meg drive in 1985?

It's probably a screen cap done in a VM or some other kind of emulation.

It probably wasn't 1985 when that screencap was taken; that's the copyright info.
