I don't want to alarm anybody, but there are only 6 more days in 2025 to listen to "Surfin' Bird."

"...is the phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in a home without reading them. The term is also used to refer to unread #books on a bookshelf meant for reading later."

Microsoft announces that soon Microsoft Word for Windows will save documents to the cloud automatically by default (OneDrive "or your preferred cloud destination"). This could prevent data loss, but you can also disable autosave if you don't want it active. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoft365insiderblog/save-new-files-automatically-to-the-cloud-in-word-for-windows/4445216#Word#MSWord#Windows#MSOffice#OneDrive#Cloud

I just used this Windows 95 VM to install Office 95. Unfortunately, it doesn't have "Clippy" yet. I think he was introduced with "Office 97". Sad retro noises....

Tonight, I'm just sorting through my latest retro downloads... mostly stuff I found on the Internet Archive.

And... "Holy cow!" This must be the earliest version of "Microsoft Office" I've ever seen! "WIN OFFICE 1.00". Everything's on 5.25inch disks and it doesn't even have a combined SETUP.EXE yet. You just pick what you want and then you're being thrown into a full-screen DOS session to go through the setup process. It features "Word 1.1", "Excel 2.0d" and "PowerPoint 2.00". This is fun!.. albeit in a strange way.
