The default drag-and-drop behavior of KDE 1 is to just ask what you want to do. Left mouse button, no modifier keys needed. I like that.
(Windows 98 does the same when dragging with the right mouse button. I don’t remember if 95 already supported this?)

Since I’m currently fiddling with SuSE 6.4 which I have running in a VM (and soon on hardware again, I hope), here are some screenshots from #GIMP 1.1 on SuSE Linux 6.4. Around 25 years old.

Just finished, and thoroughly enjoyed, Bill Gates' autobiography, "Source Code". A lot of interesting material on the unique conditions that enabled early exposure & mastery of development. Excerpt, on doing business in the early 1970s:
Saturday July 24:
2:45 Try Steve Jobs. Give his mom message.
Tuesday July 27:
10:55 Try Steve Jobs. Busy.
11:15 Steve Jobs calls. Was very rude
11:30 Try Peddle again. Must talk to him.

New video: Commodore C16 From Hell Repair
This is another dead Commodore machine from the pile of machines that eazy brought over at the beginning of the year. This time it is a TED machine: the venerable C16. It is completely dead, shows no signs of life. But this has never stopped us. Probably a dead CPU. How bad can it be, eh?
