    Windows 3.1... anyone interested??

    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??

    Robin

    I love it, I found my Windows 3.11 disks too, great OS. Also found Windows 1.0 on da net somewhere, interesting to see the differences between then and now.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    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.
