    EDITORIAL
    =================================================================


    I am thankful to be writing this. I suffered a major heart attack on
    March 31. My doctors call it a "widowmaker"; the kind of heart attack
    that kills more than people survive. I was one of the lucky few that
    survived. I have no damage to my heart from the heart attack but it
    was discovered that I have left ventricle hypertrophy (a hardening of
    the left ventricle caused by high blood pressure and causing my heart
    not to pump enough blood).

    They found three blockages inside of my heart so I am expecting
    triple bypass surgery sometime this summer. Right now, I have several
    risk factors that I am attempting to mitigate before the surgery can
    happen. So I have to take it easy and try not to stress too much as
    another heart attack will probably kill me.

    It is a very sobering fact that I am facing this as I turn 50. A
    heart attack is the last thing I expected but looking back, I can see
    there were warning signs that I didn't know about or expect to be
    dealing with.

    I am changing my diet and am working on getting my mouth ready for a
    full set of dentures (I have no teeth in my mouth as diabetes has
    caused them to all be removed). I figure that heart attack was my
    final warning to get my health going on the right track.

    I am thankful that I am still able to live alone and take care of
    myself; to get around under my own power; and not to have suffered any
    major aftereffects from the heart attack. If you are in good health,
    keep it. I'd not want to wish what I've been through on anyone.

    This week's 'Gazette is a last-minute deal. There is an article from
    Andrew Leary, FTSC Coordinator, that I meant to publish last week but
    it is in this week's FG. Sorry for the lack of exciting content but
    hopefully next week will be better. I'm dealing with a real lack of
    energy.

    Happy birthday, Windows 3.1!

    From: https://www.theregister.com/2022/04/07/windows_3_1_30/?td=rt-3a

    Happy birthday Windows 3.1, aka 'the one that Visual Basic kept
    crashing on'

    30-year-old software that first introduced Windows Registry and killed
    Real Mode

    Richard Speed Thu 7 Apr 2022 // 12:00 UTC

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Time flies whether you're having fun or simply trying to work out
    which Registry change left your system hopelessly borked, and before
    you know it, Windows 3.1 is turning 30.

    Windows 3.1 was more than a user interface refresh of the preceding
    Windows 3.0. Arriving on April 6, 1992, and still on MS-DOS, the
    operating environment brought forth support for TrueType fonts,
    introduced the Windows Registry and dropped support for older silicon.
    Windows 3.1 insisted on 80286 or above, finally sticking a knife in
    the heart of the Real Mode that was still supported in Windows 3.0.

    As well as a visual update (although nothing compared to what was
    coming a few short years later with Windows 95) multimedia support was
    improved and Microsoft introduced a concept called The Registry.

    The Windows Registry was (and remains) a database of settings hidden
    within the environment, ostensibly intended to replace or complement
    the .INI configuration files scattered throughout the environment both
    by Windows and applications targeting the platform. It is a handy
    database, but one that has become considerably more complex in the
    intervening 30 years.

    Windows 3.1 also increased the maximum memory available: when running
    in 386 enhanced mode, the limit was a mighty 256MB, up from the weedy
    16MB of Windows 3.0 (although care needed to be take with the version
    of the HIMEM.SYS driver.

    The requirement to run in Standard or 386 Enhanced Mode also made
    things a good deal more stable, although the elephant-on-a-traffic
    cone nature of Windows perching on DOS meant there remained plenty of
    opportunities for sudden crashes.

    Windows 3.1 sold very well, with an appealing user interface and
    consumer-friendly multimedia features. It did, however, have a
    relatively short life. Networking shortcomings would be at least
    partially addressed by a quick-fire succession of Windows for
    Workgroups releases, taking the version number to 3.11 by 1993 and
    also dropping Standard Mode. Windows 95 turned up shortly after,
    FGAZ 18-09 Page 3 11 Apr 2022


    finally merging MS-DOS and Windows (after a fashion).

    And then there was Windows NT 3.1, released in 1993 and looking for
    all the world like Windows 3.1 on the surface, but with an entirely
    different architecture lurking underneath.

    Support for Window 3.1 ended more than 20 years ago, but its influence
    continues to be felt today, even if the stacks of floppy disks used to
    install it are long gone. (R)
