C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

NO! I remember the tech store was always installing it whenever i went there for an upgrade (you know, a new 100MB HD or maybe an AdLib Sound Card) and i always ended up deleting it because of the useless space it occupied on my PC. DOS DOS DOS DOS! Bring back DOS 6.22!!

Re: Petition to bring back Windows 3.1
To be fair, the whole thread's bait. In the context of this thread Carlos is the shark below the waterline throwing burgers tied to bits of string at fishermen. Ideally I'd now post a Larson cartoon but I don't have one.

As i was very very young back then and i wasn't that stubborn (except deleting the w3.1 over and over and over...), it wasn't really what made me buy a mouse (and i wouldn't have bought a mouse because of windows, that would only happen when XP were released, if i have to buy a mouse solely on windows account), what made me get that dirty rotten was Lemmings by Psygnosis ! OH NO, OH NO,OH NO,OH NO, boomboomboomboomboomboommmm!!!Everybody has done that!
Anyhow, what is the use of w3.1? You couldn't even play games on w3.1. If it were a petition to bring back w95, that would seem more logical ( i would still have voted no, if i could find a no). W3.1 was just something that you installed so you would have the pleasure to delete.
Actually, that's the first thing I do with a new OS install - disable all the stupid sounds. really, who thought that was a great idea? Oh, that's right...Microsoft Bob and Mr Clippy.

No fancy speaker noises. (Just good old fashioned beeps.)
You know PC speaker could actually play music right? They did something with the frequency in some games and you could hear music and speech! I was drooling the first time i listened to the madness!!!

While going through Tech Training for the AF, we were learning ASM during one of our modules... a couple of us got ahead in our studies in class one day... use ASM to program the Empire March from Star Wars... we got tossed out of class for that one.
Wasn't the first time we'd gotten tossed out... wasn't the last time either.
Hole lee crap...4 years old, when Win95 was the best thing since...
