A peer-to-peer file sharing program which instead lets you subscribe to people to get files in a “sink-discovery” system.
Had a lot of potential, and is significantly better than other systems and programs. Was stillborn.
An ancient project noted as an aside.
The date is a wild estimate; it’s likely even earlier than this.

An instant messager program.
I can best place these notes from a little before 2000-12-06, as I have a note referencing this software from Opera – Ancient Windows notes which was written around that date.
Whoops, I broke my HP 200LX.. I’ll have to get it repaired before I can re-open this project.

An early-1990s
A portable computer.
Clamshell, Full QWERTY-keyboard with a keypad and macro keys, authentic Intel 8086 hardware, true DOS, a task-switching application, and a number of GUI applications and productivity software. It is truly a portable computer.
Abandoned — HP decided to switch to the Windows CE-supporting palmtops in their Jordana-series of palmtops, even though the 200LX was still a moneymaking operation.

This program prompted my very first review!

was neoplanet.com
A Windows 16bit internet browser+email suite. It leveraged Internet Explorer‘s HTML rendering engine.
This is probably the most significant piece of software I’ve ever used, because it was the initial prompt for my writing and publishing reviews. It pushed a major hobby and has influenced whole careers. As for it being any good.. well it had potential that it didn’t meet. At the time it was better than Opera but it just didn’t survive the web browser marathon.

An email client. I believe this was originally 16 bit and I likely ran it on Windows 3.1.
This would have been one of my major programs back then. (version not recorded)
This is for DOS and 4DOS. For Linux shells (Dash, Bash, Zsh, etc), see Shell scripting notes.

For the mind, which is also physical, Intelligence is there, but it doesn’t really have the same approach as this topic. It ought to though. Maybe one day later.
