Caveats: it's actually 3.0 and the mouse doesn't work... yet



I opened Command Prompt and did DEL . in C:\WINDOWS and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. The system is now corrupted from here.


mouse? who cares, there's wolfenstein!


Where? All I can find are Solitaire and Reversi... which surprisingly enough can be played with the keyboard.


Not really surprising at all, people actually used windows without a mouse back then. Not a lot of people, but it was done and windows was actually very usable. In fact, I'd say pretty much everything that mattered still worked with just a keyboard until at least win2k, if not XP.


I don't exactly use it a lot, but I haven't spotted any notable regressions in the keyboard-access stuff between XP and Windows 7.


Yeah, I only stopped my claim at XP because that's the last version of Windows I really used.


Microsoft is pretty good on keyboard access. It's important to disabled users.


That's really neat. Is it yours?
