Tasgandy Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Whilst I was ferreting around the Web looking for a "Free" download for OS 2 Warp 4 (Yeah I'm an past member of an OS users group down here in Aus.) I came across the following site that could interest some of you folk out there. What did that OLD OS look like? It took me back to the time I used (also forgotten about) IMB DOS 3.0, Dr DOS 5.1, GeoWorks 1.0, GeoWorks Ensemble 2.0, RS6000, Mac system 1 & 3, Windows 3, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98 & SE, Windows ME, Windows NT 3.5.1 & 4.0, Windows 2000 etc. By the way are there any OS 2 users out there?

Moderators DennisD Posted October 28, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 28, 2010 We could include it with CCleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted October 28, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 28, 2010 We could include it with CCleaner. LOL POSTER: Hi I was wondering why CCleaner not supports Etch-A-Sketch also i have thought that cleaning of leapfrog device is a must have. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Aethec Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Don't forget a special Defraggler version to defrag your Etch-A-Sketch And a Recuva version to recover your lost sketches. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasgandy Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Just in time to hit the shops for Xmas with that one Dennis Now if Mac were to take over and release an updated model it would be a: iEtch-A-iSketch It would most likely play music and phone home as well!!!!!!

login123 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 . . . By the way are there any OS 2 users out there? Nice find, Tasgandy. I still have a copy of OS 2 v3 in the box, never opened it. Already warped enough. They took a look at it where I used to work, but then Windows took over the market. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

login123 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Not sure, price quotes are all over the map. Might just keep it, it looks "Tootally Retro, Mann" sitting there on the shelf.

Moderators hazelnut Posted November 21, 2010 Moderators Share Posted November 21, 2010 You might enjoy this trip down memory lane as well http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9196998/Visual_tour_25_years_of_Windows Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasgandy Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 You might enjoy this trip down memory lane as well http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9196998/Visual_tour_25_years_of_Windows Yes Hazelnut, that certainly brings back memories, Windows 3.0 was the first MS product I saw (on a Mates PC) and Windows 3.1 was my first Windows product that I owned. (on a 286 box with a 50MB HD) Following by Windows 3.11, 3.11 for work groups and Windows Server 3.5.1 from memory. It was then I joined Microsoft as a paid up member of the "Black Label Partnership" program that...........OH bloody hell, that was to long ago. I don't think I want to trip down memory lane.......plus it's boring for those who did not take the same trip (for want of a better word). Anyhow, many thanks for the link as two of my other retired network consultants were also very interested to it all exposed/told in one location, a glimpse of "yesterday or yesteryear" Always With Kind RegardsTasgandy"one is never too old to listen & learn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
