Day: September 13, 2018

I was wearing this cap today when a Safeway clerk, obviously a Windows geek and computer history buff,  recognized it and offered his admiration and congratulations.  This was a promotional bit of garb distributed by Microsoft to celebrate its release on September 13, 2000, of Windows Millennium Edition (aka Windows ME).  It came into my possession by dint of my association with my ISP (Internet Service Provider) then-employer who was a certified Microsoft distributor.  Windows ME was the last of the purely DOS-based iterations of the Windows operating system, probably the least successful and certainly the least long-lived, soon succeeded by Windows XP.    But the exceptional quality of this headgear has led to its long life and continued use by yours truly.   eof
