Somewhere in 1998, history split. On this branch, the system was never abandoned — it kept evolving, release after release, and it is still evolving today. This machine is not a museum piece and not a recording: it is a living operating system, and this page is its home.
INSTRUCTIONS: Press the POWER button on the monitor (bottom-right, sound ON) and wait for boot. At the Welcome screen, type any name to create your account — this machine will remember you, and your C:\ drive will be here when you return.

ENGINEERING NOTEPHASE 2: PERSISTENCE
Everything on this desktop is real, working software: a window manager, a shared virtual C:\ drive (the MS-DOS Prompt and My Documents see the same files), a spreadsheet with its own formula engine, physics pinball, and a registry. No code is ever executed from user input — the shell, the calculator and the spreadsheet all run on hand-written parsers. New in this release: log on at the Welcome screen and every file you create is journaled to the server — your C:\ drive persists across visits and devices.
