anyone still using windows 3.1 or older?

atsonicpark · 09.09.2009, 11:54 PM

Just curious.

I am using ME, personally....

I'm debating buying 7. It would be an upgrade for XP. However, 7 Home is like $120 and I could get a new computer with 7 for about $450.

Haha.

I was just reading on the net how tons of people still get on the internet with Windows 3.1 (with one of the first versions of Windows).

Also, plenty of people are still using Netscape, Wget, and Galeon 1.2.0.

That's so cool!

atsonicpark · 09.10.2009, 12:02 AM

FUCK YEAH!

Fuck I am going to go play Rodent's Revenge and SkiFree now!

I used Windows 2000 (Professional Edition!) for eight years ; I recently bought a new computer, and therefore am on Vista now (which I do not find as shitty as people say it is, really ... I think it's good)

no. I would go insane if I had to work on that now. I have no idea how that os can deal with current hardware.? or is it being installed on old hardware? how would browsing the internets now on old hardware and software be any fun? nothing would load.

for fun, and no internet, some old games for 5 mins sure maybe. but not for much else.

atsonicpark · 09.10.2009, 12:23 AM

Nostalgia wins.

Some people also run 3.1 on XP for various reasons. I find it very interesting..

phoenix · 09.10.2009, 12:24 AM

I was on ME for the longest time, even through until after vista I think. It gave me a fair bit of trouble but only toward the end. My second desktop then had xp.. now my laptop has vista. vista > xp. I just wish it was fucking 64 bit so I could use all my ram.

atsonicpark · 09.10.2009, 12:25 AM

I've been on ME since ME came out haha.

I would be interested in using an older Mac OS since I mostly missed out on that.

But linux is the future so too infinity and beyond...

pbradley · 09.10.2009, 12:32 AM

Yeah, I think I remember that from the old Macs I used to video edit in high school.

Shit was slow but we were able to curse at each other using the speech program.

phoenix · 09.10.2009, 12:33 AM

text to speach swearing was pretty funnae.

noisereductions · 09.10.2009, 07:12 AM

adam you like ME? I always hated that version. 2000 wasn't bad. But I want to keep XP for as long as I can.

phoenix · 09.10.2009, 08:04 AM

windows 95 was great for easy networking

I think I have expressed my appreciation for Windows 3.1 on this board before. At my folk's house back in the old country I still have a (working) Compaq computer from 1993 or 4 running Windows 3.1. Last time I was home I spent a fair bit of time on it. Can't use the internet on it, though.
