Ahh. The 3.xx series... Good times. |
lol.....geez, by books it's long dead. I would think that corporates that has custom apps build in these platform has long migrated to the newer windows.

I need to dig out my foppy disks of Windows 286 and the copy of Corel Draw that went along with it :P heheh
|
I quite liked Windows 3.1. I thought it was simple and easy-to-use.

Original package:

^Me! Well, at least the 3.5' variety. I have an old Compaq Presario sitting in my bedroom, sans monitor, so essentially useless. My dad kept it because it had some stuff on it he wanted to back up, and it just hasn't been disposed of since. It was high-tech when he bought the machine back in 1998. The 2x DVD combo drive was top of the range back then. Now it's just obsolete.

I remember spending my sixth grade with Windows 3.0. Not that I was in sixth grade when Windows 3.0 came out. Those were the days...
|
I still have my MS-DOS 6.0 disks.. although I do have a floppy unit, it does not work...
I never used Windows 3.1. I always choose DOS 6.22. |
Microsoft haven't changed their logo much over the yearsm have they? Haha.
|
3.1 worked pretty good. Can't say the same for Vista. "are you sure you want to access your clipboard"
But I still remember the lines that formed at midnight to be the first to get a copy of Windows 95. Would you see that today, except I guess for the new iphone? |
what the hell is this! i was a DOS man all the way. screw windows. i worked with Q-Basic and DOS commands. it took everything i had to get windows cause i didnt like it but things evolve and i had to go to windows.
i loved all the DOS based games i use to play like Starflight and the original Test Drive... very sweet games and who can forget worms!!! old memories are good with DOS. |

My dad kept all his old floppy disks. He still has some 5 1/4" ones. I'm not sure why he's kept them. I thought he'd chucked them all out until recently when he moved apartment. |
The Lian Li case I got almost a year ago came with a FDD. However, the Asus motherboard I got, did not have any ports for hooking it up. Just as it did not have any parallel ports for printers. (all USB now)
