OT: What is 2000ed and 3.11 for workgroups?

[tarchon]

3.11 is the version number from Windows for Workgroups, an early version of Windows that offhandedly attempted to implement networking and didn't do it too well, ca. 1993.
2000ed is presumably a similar reference to Windows 2000.

Dialgo, shame on you! You've confused the Salad Shooter! Now the Italian dressing is all over the walls, the floor is covered in lettuce, and I don't even want to *think* about what happened to the crutons.

Bad Edition Troll! Bad! Bad! No treat for you!

I can't believe D&D ME hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet.

 

[Thanee]

Well, if there ever will be a millenium edition of D&D, we'll have to wait quite a while for it (and hope for scientific breakthrough on life-prolonging methods).

Bye

Nah. Games designers aren't any better at hitting release dates than software developers (of which I'm one). We've still got another couple years to see a D&D ME.

It's characteristic would have to be that it is an "interim" or "transition" platform. It would have to be not entirely backwards compatible, but have more in common with previous editions that future releases. Third-party vendors would likely not be overly keen on writing things for it, either.

Actually, I think we've already seen D&D ME. It's just disguised with the 3.5 moniker.

As with everything involved with ME it’s best forgotten…

BTW: Windows for workgroups (3,11) worked well enough in it's day. I would obviously rather have XP over it as with computers, and D&D it's only gotten better with time...

Not if you had to run it on a 386.

Hehe...and what does the perpetrator have to say for himself?

Sounds right to me. I will put Win98 on a machine any day before I put WinME on it. It is a more stable platform that works better in all regards. I never understood why they messed with it since the end result was that it wasn't as good as the original. Same goes for D&D.

I must be very lucky: my computer runs on Windows Me, and is exceptionally stable. In fact my D&D 3.5 campaign is quite good too.
