All of it. A friend of mine worked IT for a New York agency that wound up with a hospital group as their primary client. He had been working for the agency for eight years; he quit eleven months after the contract started.

Long ago I found a monitor in a server closet that had been sealed off for at least ten years just glowing away. Not counting the command prompt burn in, the thwack sound that screen made when I pressed the button was righteous.

The Server of Amontillado?

Yeah. it was an OS/2 backup email server that had been been walled off when the cube farm was reconfigured and the hallway was changed apparently. We found it while assigning static IPs after we expanded the offices and started conflicting with it. Nobody currently at the company had been there from the time when the server was concealed.

The best part about cleaning, by far, is that hearing protection is "recommended" in the cleaning area, due to a loud air hose being used to quickly dry the cleaned parts. Why is this good? Because while I'm busting through a dozen totes and all the associated parts, I am totally allowed and encouraged to wear my over-the-ear headphones and zone out to some beats.

It was Windows 95's "OSR2" release that brought in the first USB support from Microsoft - remember that USB wasn't released to the public until Spring 1996. Users with the earlier plain release of Windows 95 or the intermediate OSR1 release could get USB support from third party drivers or a patch you could order from Microsoft, and was later available from Microsoft online.

That said, Windows 3.1 can use USB, but it goes through various third party and hobbyist drivers (there's also a USB stack for plain old DOS, so you can even use USB there). Trying to get the additional drivers for things beyond mass storage, keyboards and mice though, that's the real challenge!

Also, Windows 3.1 did support networks, in that Microsoft had a networking stack available to plug drivers into, since there'd been networking stuff in DOS dating back to the 3.x versions or so. Windows for Workgroups' 3.1 and 3.11 big thing was that it supported file and printer sharing over SMB, much like Windows still uses today - the non-For Workgroups 3.1 and 3.11 couldn't do this without third party software.

Also if you're wondering what the difference between 3.1 and 3.11 is:
For regular Windows, 3.11 was just a bugfix patch release of 3.1 without any new features. All copies of 3.1 sold after fall 1993 were the 3.11 version.
For Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, 3.11 added 32 bit file and network access functionality which sped up access speeds. They also improved the disk caching system, and dropped support for CPUs older than the 386.

This all means that 3.11 for Workgroups is the 3.x version of Windows you'd want to run now if you had to run a 3.x windows.

I have a DOSBox install of 3.11WfW on my phone so I can freak people out by launching Photoshop on it. It's only Photoshop 3.0, but it works just fine.

Our newly acquired branch halfway across the country has been given access to our test ticketing system. They've been making the silliest, most nonsense test tickets I've ever seen and I've been laughing hysterically at them all day. They're making the kind of tickets I've always wanted to make in our test environment but never had the balls to, even in non-production.

I opened a ticket trying to open a dialogue between us so I can offer to buy drinks.

Years ago when I was still doing Games QA and Project Management, we were building an in-house bugtracking system. We needed a sample project for testing this system, and as we were the outsource test and compatibility house for Hasbro Interactive and GT Interactive, we had a gently caress-ton of graphic assets from both those companies projects. So our Test Project was Glover vs. Predator. By the end of the dev cycle on the bugtracker we had generated about 1500 tickets and they had some of the silliest descriptions and steps to repeat. I'll try to find my archive of them along with the GvP box art our documentation team mocked up.
