Atsuko and I got Windows 3 working on a British non-PC computer called the Apricot. Took us only one more week after I got Windows 2 working on it.

Not a surprise to any of my followers, but I think this is pretty cool. Until recently, the computer only had pure MS-DOS, Windows 1.0 and DR GEM, so this is a major software upgrade.
