Hi Roland,
I would think that there would have been almost no copies of Windows 1 impor=
ted into Australia ... certainly, I don't think you would have found one in=
a school ... lots of rivals at the time, even on DOS PCs ...
In the States, you might pick a copy up on 5.25" floppy at a garage sale alo=
ngside other unloved objects such as the Ford Edsel and Pat Boone LPs ... :=

PSS: There is little truth to rumors that some of the code is still being us=
ed with Vista :-)

No, but there'll be a heap of even older VAX VMS code from the seventies!
Cheers,
Clarky
