Just like riding a bike, They say no matter how long you haven't ridden one you never really forget

I stayed by my sisters place over Saturday night and she's got some sort of x86 system there. So since my printers been screwed-up and I need to get some resume's out I used her Windows 98 system and her HP deskjet to get it printed.

I used to own 2 x86 boxes with Win 95 and stopped using them after I got my trusty old Mac G3/266 here. Surprisingly it wasn't too difficult to recall how to navigate Windows.

I guess the funniest/weirdest part was remembering to use the "control" key in place of the "command" key in keyboard shortcuts.

It's a little reassuring in case I land some Graphics job that actually uses wintel boxes. Hopefully that won't be the case, but it's either that or starve as my funds are running lowwwwwwww
