Outstanding. I will give this a go ASAP.

PS: I'm the author of this article. Had a great time thinking about all the fun systems I've played with over the years and researching their history.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good article and I enjoyed it. Props for mentioning BeOS, $deity bless her and all who sail in her ;)

No worries. I love the feedback. Fodder for a second installment? Keep the ideas coming.

Ok, in no particular order:

* Built in BASIC on the Commodore PET

* Folders in MS DOS (CP/M didn't have them)

* The trashcan in Macintosh System 6

* The start bar in OS/2

* I can't think of a single unique thing about Atari TOS

* The stability of Windows 2000 (compared to 9x and NT)
