I can't remember using win 3.1 much.. I do remember upgrading my msDos to 5.0 and fucking with autoexec.bat and config.sys to get dune2 to work. haha :P

of course, how can i forget that? is till remember the dot matrix printers, word processors, lotus 123 and that big diskette whose name i forgot.

job security...let's code up some TGP's in COBOL...haha :thumbsup

lol yeah.. fuck all this nu-school 386/486 shit. I remember when it was all Commodore 64/Amstrad 464/Vic 20/Apple IIe.. or moon patrol on a 8086

Oh holy shit! C&VG is still around... I used to get that when they included a few pages of BASIC code to code your own stuff instead of an attached DVD LOL.

Yeh I remember it well. :1orglaugh

i do remember! that was the first PC i've ever got. cr-rom speed was only 16x and that was the fastest in the neighborhood... no microsoft office yet.

God damn i'm getting old. I still have a copy of
Windows 2.13 , even fucking dosshell looked better :thumbsup

that's awesome!!

Don't talks shit on Windows for Workgroups, motherfucker :)

I'm not sure if CDrom was already supported back then since most programs were in those large floppy disks.

lol. Is this a joke?
16x cdroms..:1orglaugh
I remember when they planned on launching a cd-rom drive sometime in the future.

How can I forget the floppy disk drive (5 & 1/4) and the dot matrix printers. :)

Atari 400 back in 1979/80 and eventually went for the external cassette player for programs that didnt come on a cartridge.

Dot matrix was cutting edge when you were used to a "golfball" printer that needed a pair of ear defenders to use. :)

I was farting around with Amiga back in those days. Win 3.x was shit compared to what the Workbench OS was capable of. Hell, even with no OS the damn thing ran games sweetly froma boot floppy and had pretty good framerates for what the hardware was.

I had a XT that ran only DOS with WordPerfect - none of this WYSIWYG wordproccesor crap - you had to try and imagine what it would look like.

Then I upgraded and got windows 3.11 and started a BBS using 'Cheetah' software I think - I managed to hook it up to email and was about the first person in town with an email address.

It was about 3 months before anyone emailed me - I nearly wet myself when I got it. It was test123 message from America, I couldnt believe it had come all the way over the ocean lol

This is what it was about fools!:thumbsup

Mine was pretty close to that... I had a Tandy 2500 SX... screaming fast 25Mhz cpu, 80 meg harddrive, 1 meg of ram with Dos 5.0 and Windows 3.0.

After it got old and many of the sectors were bad on the HD, I wiped it out and started running my BBS on it with my screaming fast 2400 baud modem.

yeah i remember those days, was like yesterday

I have headr thet there are some museums in internet where you see old (really old) versions of different sites, ans the other museums with screeshoots of old software, may be some one can share links ?

I still have an old computer running 3.1 on top of Netware. 386dx with 4 megs of ram and a 30 meg rll hard drive.

that was the first computer i ever touched - Commodore CBM 4032

it had a double 5 1/4 floppy drive (4040) that was about 50 lbs or so :1orglaugh

i had 3.1 it rocked

Thats what Im talking about.. I had Zaxxon on tape. I still have an Atari 400 up at my cottage with pacman, space invaders and star raiders.. dont have the tape player anymore.

I was using Corel Draw 2 .. blown away because it had lotssss of fonts and I could see it onscreen .. unlike Adobe Type Manager and Pagemaker ... on my paper white monitor ... running Stacker software for more drive space

I remember using 3.11 for workgroups and running this HP desktop manager a university computer tech guy gave me. The multi-virtual desktops were sweet.

this Lars was the Lars that ran that place??? GET THE FUCK OUT!! You went to Cyber chat too wtf!! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
What was your handle? You ever chat with Covert, Deigo, Cybermonkey, Cyber Groove? lol:1orglaugh

I remember having 16MB of ram & living in the butter zone baby.. that was FAST..
Or after a while the release of MMX! lol

And then used to laugh at people when I "upgraded" to Windows 3.11 and they still used 3.1
