I remember running DesqView (without the X) in the early 90's, it must have been on a 286 (is that possible?), I only got a 486 around 1994.

I remember being impressed by the fact that I could run multiple applications at the same time and switch between them. I think I ran a BBS at the time (a combination of Frontdoor and something else... the memory is thin).

I vaguely remember excitingly showing my parents, probably my mother, "Look! I can run multiple applications and switch between them!!!", and she gave me a confused look of "what the hell is this boy going on about".
