Was I surprised to see a Calmira Tips Digest in my mailbox! I guess
that means I've been subscribed all this time and there's been no
action on the list.
My home network has one 16-bit Windows system on it: Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 on a Toshiba Satellite T1960CT laptop with an
upgraded hard drive. I'm using it for real work, a membership
database. It does the job very nicely and lives on the network just
like all the newer Windows systems.
I had been using a T2400CS, also with WfW 3.11, but it developed a
serious problem and I replaced it. The T2400CS had a SCSI port,
which I had been using for a Zip100 drive, but the T1960CT has a
brighter display.
But since I'm not using Win3 for general computing, I don't need the
flexibility of an enhanced user interface. I tried putting Calmira
on it, but it wasn't worth relearning the differences between the
Calmira interface and the Win9x interface. I also considered putting
on Norton Desktop (also better than the Win3 interface, but
completely different from Calmira) but again, I didn't need it. I've
just about relearned how to use the native Win3 interface.
I did one nonstandard thing. I created two new program groups in
Program Manager, one with the utilities I use most often and one
with the programs I use for the real work. I configured each with
one row of icons and keep them open, one above the other, using them
like toolbars. I even named one of them "Quick Launch."
Calmira was fun, but I don't need it any more. Sorry about that.
Really. I hate to say goodbye.
