Some very basic 1980s education on using mice and mouse icons on Windows 2.x

Some very basic 1980s education on using mice and mouse icons on Windows 2.x

Your assumed knowledge — if you got left behind in the 1990s, here's what you missed.

I did like that question mark icon — it was kind of friendly and confident. Windows arrow, you're drunk.

A description of how to reverse the minimise process on "icons" sitting in the desktop in Windows 2.x, which was how things looked for a while before 1995.  It involved Alt-Tab if you didn't have a mouse.  But nobody used it.

A manual page snippet, showing the keyboard shortcuts in 1988 were Alt+Spacebar then C, or Alt+F then X (File Menu > Exit), or Alt+F4 (no change there).  If you wanted to use a mouse, you'd go to the top-left corner and double-click, slightly similar to Mac.
