So, if somebody helps you out.. you are not allowed to write a post back saying "Thank you" ?.. or to make it a contributing post, should we "thank you, now my life is so much better, i did bla bla bla.. and now it works.. bla bla bla.. thank you for making my life better"

I think the idea of that rule is to stop the people who just sign up, and post thanks in 10 topics.

Speaking of useless stuff, here's a frame from Pirates of Silicon Valley:

(1:29:32, Jobs is talking to Gates and Ballmer about "similarities" between their OSs)

To the best of my knowledge, that's supposed to be a brand new PC with Windows 1 (or some version thereof). However, it has overlapping windows, the calculator's "screen" looks wrong, the "dock" has icons on the right (and isn't green) and it's quite difficult to tell but I'd say it looks like it's quite a (relatively) high resolution. I know it's a movie, but c'mon!

It looks more like Windows 2.x but with 1.x colours.

Could someone change the title to be a bit more representative of the fact this thread is about a "Windows 1 logo sighting"...
