project Bonjour (1996)
This program was born when I purchased a new "Pentium-120" in early 1996. Attached to the computer there was a mouse which was not capable of movement, other than by means of making sharp impacts on a table with it. The buttons of this little animal were almost impossible to press, because it's insides were a little warped, and as result getting the cursor over an icon and double clicking on it was very difficult.
I have also made small program with larger pictures representing Norton Commander, MS Word, MS Excel and other necessary tools. I built it to start the programs with one mouse click. Of course, my mouse was replaced, but the program had turned out to be rather convenient and gradually has acquired various enhancements and improvements. First time I called my program the "Africa", but after my september'1996 travel in France, I have renamed my program in "Bonjour".
