oneirophreniaWell, you can get it here at WinWorld!
This is the best outdated/abandonware site I've ever seen. It's just so damned awesome. I am seriously considering wiping out my file server machine just to install MS-DOS and Win 3.11 on it....
And, on an unrelated point: WHAT KIND OF FUCKING MORON CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE TOOLBARS IN WORD FOR WINDOWS? I found the above link to WinWorld on Digg.com, which, like /., is a good resource for random and tech-related links--but, just as one should never ever read any of the comments on /. (they're all written by fat, sweaty dumbshits who honestly believe that arguing the merits of Firefox and Linux is a worthwhile pursuit), one should never ever read the comments on Digg.com. But I couldn't help but notice that several of the comments on the above link revolve around a number of people whining that the toolbars and buttons on the latest version of Word for Windows are hard to deal with. I've noticed comments and stuff like this in a number of other forums and outlets over the years, and it truly makes me wonder: how fucking stupid do you have to be to not understand a toolbar? OK, if you just like dealing with keyboard shortcuts instead (as I do), FINE--you can use them. Or just hide the toolbars. Or both. If I ever meet some dunderhead who snorts something snide about the superiority of text-editing in Linux through his unkempty Cheeto-becrumbed beard, I'm going to aim a roundhouse kick straight to the anime princess stretched into deformity across his t-shirt-loomed chest. Goddamned OS junkies.

Date: 2005-11-15 02:56 am (UTC)As far as copyright info goes, check out this definition of abandonware (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware). In short: even though MS still holds the copyrights to, say, Win95 and 3.11 and MS-DOS, they don't bother to enforce the copyrights anymore because the software is completely obsolete and no longer in any way supported by the company. So they just don't care about it anymore.
