    From the article:

    “I do remember some discussion about whether we should include it, and some snarky laughter. But it was not intended as a joke. It was not inspired by any hot dog stands, and it was not included as an example of a bad interface—although it was one. It was just a garish choice, in case somebody out there liked ugly bright red and yellow.”

    I would use it for a few hours every now and then. It was fun.

    It’s something all os’s lack today. Except Hanna Montana.

      I loved Hot Dog Stand. It’s one of the reasons why Windows 3.1 is one of my favorite operating systems: I have so many fond memories of what it was like computing with it. I no longer have a Windows machine and I’m convinced that all software should be free/libre, but I’ll always have a soft spot for this OS.
