Hi everyone,
I have recently found my old copy of Windows 3.1. I was wondering whether anyone here would be interested in it, for historical purposes or to run some old software. It comes on approx 10 floppy disks.
Anyone out there interested??

Can't agree about Win 98 being a piece of $hit... an OS is only as crappy as the user ;)
Win 98 isn't very bad at all.

Sorry, yeah I ment DOS 6.22.
Well, I used Win 9x for a long time. 9x wasn't total crap but I did experiance alot of explorer.exe lockups/crashes. Win 98 SE fixed some of that.
