Ah Sidekick! According to Wikipedia: “Long time users of Sidekick 98 report no difficulties continuing to use the program through subsequent iterations of Windows, up to and including Windows 7.” However I suspect that Sidekick 98 doesn’t really represent the real, original Sidekick usage experience. (“Terminate and Stay Resident” was the jargon name for the type of DOS programme that the original Sidekick represented - a great title for a horror movie I’ve always thought.)

I abandoned Sidekick for Threadz Organizer, which I bought as a floppy direct from the developer in person at some trade show or another. As you say, Steve, how times have changed!
