    Have any of you used Windows 1.0?

    I was on eBay one time, and I found Windows 1.0. The bid was up to over $3000. Have any of you ever used Windows 1.0? The pictures on the back of the box looked almost like an ms-dos program.

    $3000 for something that nobody really used?

    Win 3.0 was the first one that was pretty good.

    Win 3.1 and 3.11 for workgroups were the ones that really took off.

    People have to much money and spend it on ****. There was a huge art gallery that was showing an exhibiton of modern art a few years back. The caretaker left his staplegun on his stepladders and went of for a cup of tea. When he got back someone had bought the stepladders and staplegun

    Some people see a use in spending $3k on something they will never use, I don't
