You guys remember Windows 3.1? - GoFuckYourself.com

sickbeatz · 02-09-2006, 08:29 PM

I remember the good old days. The first time I ever surfed the internet was with Windows 3.1. I remember, Netscape was the browser of choice and every web-site had a #c0c0c0 background.

sickbeatz · 02-09-2006, 08:31 PM

Heh.. And LegendaryLars use to run a site called Pleasure Palace back in the early 90s. I use to chat in one of his chatrooms. It was called 'cyber chat' LOL

hydro · 02-09-2006, 08:32 PM

lucky for me im not that old

warlock5 · 02-09-2006, 08:32 PM

I'm ashamed to admit I used win3.1 so long that by the time I upgraded win98 was already out.

gornyhuy · 02-09-2006, 08:33 PM

Fuck yeah - remember when Win 3.11 came out and blew that shit away?

I couldnt upgrade to Win95 for months cuz my computer couldnt handle it.... lol

Baker Rd · 02-09-2006, 08:34 PM

Fuck yeah, I had an IBM 386 with a free wireless connection to my neighbor across the street that ran an ISP.

eadweb · 02-09-2006, 08:35 PM

Yup, I remember buying an extra 1meg of memory for $450 so 3.1 would have a whole 2 megs to work with.

I don't think there was wireless back then.

I remember I had a 2400 baud dialup modem. when 14.4k modems came out -- those were considered 'high-speed' and if you were able to download 1.4K/sec you were big pimpin

Baker Rd · 02-09-2006, 08:39 PM

Trust me there was wireless, it was a giant box almost the size of my IBM and slow as a 28.8 but it was wireless

baddog · 02-09-2006, 08:40 PM

I remember 3.0 . . . . still have the 5 1/4" floppy install disks

3M TA3 · 02-09-2006, 08:44 PM

wow, my first computer with a "network" was an Apple II+ with a modem that required you to place the handset on the modem....old school!

tony286 · 02-09-2006, 08:48 PM

My first computer had ms dos , that computer was faster and didnt crash. Programs werent as sloppy then.

crockett · 02-09-2006, 08:55 PM

I had a dell 286 with windows 3.11 on it. Damn thing didn't even come with a cd rom I had to add that myself.

Surfed on AOL the version that looked like a 1989 banner farm..

baddog · 02-09-2006, 09:08 PM

My first "IBM compatible" was a custom job

386DX
120 MB HDD
12" color monitor
mouse
keyboard
color dot matrix printer
Windows 3.0
DOS 5.0
I think 4 Meg RAM, may have been 2

care to guess how much it cost?

Murderous · 02-09-2006, 09:09 PM

Almost exactly like the old Mac OS like OS 7 or OS 8.

webcrawler · 02-09-2006, 09:21 PM

Anyone still remember the splash screen?
I've never used it with an internet connection, just to get my school reports done.

Penthouse Tony · 02-09-2006, 09:29 PM

make that $2k since I just noticed you had a moniter in there too

AsianDevil · 02-09-2006, 09:29 PM

Lol, how many of you remember the Commodore 64, or even better, the PET?

FlyingIguana · 02-09-2006, 09:34 PM

commodore 64 had some cool games, except when the power went out while you kept it on for might and magic

AsianDevil · 02-09-2006, 09:41 PM

lol, too true Iguana =_)

Nembrionic · 02-09-2006, 09:53 PM

My first:

286, 12Mhz with Turbo button to boost it to 16Mhz which made nibbles.bas and gorillas.bas run superfast

2MB RAM
40MB HD
1MB VGA card
Windows 3.11 for Workgroups
DOS 5 with Dos Shell

Good old days

4Pics · 02-09-2006, 10:05 PM

I had an Ibm PC Xt, and a Tandy 1000 that I played the shit out of Kings Quest on.

I think it had like 1mb of ram, no hd just 2 360k floppy drives. Later I got a 1.2mb floppy and a 1.44 that kicked ass but no games came on 1.44's.

Rochard · 02-09-2006, 10:08 PM

I remember having to install it using some four thousand floppy disks!

Probono · 02-09-2006, 10:11 PM

baddog · 02-09-2006, 11:13 PM

I started out with an Apple I then an Apple IIe with dual floppy drives. There was no hdd, and whatever memory there was minimal, less than a digital watch as I recall.

Verbal · 02-09-2006, 11:16 PM

And man, that's where I really got psyched about the networking support Microsoft was doing.

TheJimmy · 02-09-2006, 11:22 PM

I remember taking basic & fortran in HS in '82 (early hs, I'm a class of 86 generational)...at N. Hollywood High on an Apple IIe...that was THE BOMB biscuit back then...

nested loops, taco bell & the clean weed was a fun summer experience...

NoWhErE · 02-09-2006, 11:23 PM

I remember pre-internet.... the old dial-up BBS days!

Now THAT was fun!!!!

Then I got ahold of Compuserve... it fucking cost me 300$ for my first month! I never suscribed to it again

johnnyhey · 02-09-2006, 11:23 PM

I loved 3.11, got some plugins for it that made it better than 95 ever was (I still have some of the games active on my desktop)

I only upgraded to 95 because I had to so I could FTP or some other such nonsense.

BoNgHiTtA · 02-09-2006, 11:26 PM

I also ran the pimp BBS on Renegade bbs software. That was PPPIIIMMPPP

shit, I was the guy on the job (previous life as a military tech geek) that could restore the 'program manager' vibe to your 95 feel...I was way in demand by some of the top brass to put their new 95 shit back to the old 3.11 vibe...
