happy 20k post, btw.

Actually, at the time, I thought File Manager was much better than the way Win95 dealt with files. If you remember the default behavior of Win95 was to open every directory in a new window. I thought this was extremely unorgainzed and for the longest time I continued to use the old File Manager.

Since I had upgraded from Win3.1 pretty much all of my files were 8 characters or less so the lack of long filename support didn't matter much. However after a while typing c:\progra~1, etc. got old so I made the switch.

personally I preferred the way Win95 opened new directories in a new window, because I was an unorganized child (win95 years for me were from age ~7-12). I contemplated keeping WinXP doing the same thing but I got used to the back button. occasionally though I see situations where I would've preferred new windows for directories.

90mhz -> 133mhz should be a drop in replacement. the voltage didn't change until 166mmx chips came out.

Like PingSpike said, the bus has to go from 60MHz to 66 MHz, and multiplier to 2.0. It will be jumpers too. No biggie though. I think the 60,66,75's had a divv vcore than 90+ cores. And yeah it's not MMX with that diff vcore because it's only a 133. I feel kinda old now..

Got the AfterDark screensavers setup yet? My favorite was the bungee jumping cows where every fourth cow or so would splat on the ground.

no, upgrading from 3.11 to 95 from floppies was the shiz

I still have the floppies from 3.1, 3.11, 95 and 98.

That was fun.

That is pretty awesome. I hated going to Win95 and attempted to delay it making the switch. It took me a while to get used to the "new" way of doing things and now I really don't miss Win3.x too terribly much.

Damn, Win98 on floppies!?! I've had a cd-rom drive since 1993!

know of any mp3 players for win3.x?


was winamp 1.0 a win3.1 software? or was that Windows 95?

Anyways, I still like the simple interface of windows 3.1. XP has a lot flashy graphics that serves no purpose other than eating up processor time.

So I've been fooling around with Virtual PC and have been able to get get Windows 3.11 up and running. I installed the network drivers as well as the TCP/IP protocol and am now able to surf the net and share files with my real WinXP computer.

If you are wondering why I went to all the trouble, it is because i wanted an old MS-DOS rig which I could play all of my old DOS games. I have used DOSBox before but it has some issues with certain games so I thought I'd give this a try. However, because of the way Virtual PC works you can't really copy files over easily. I had to use a floppy disk to install the NIC drivers and TCP/IP protocol. However once I got those installed I was able to set up file sharing and everything works great. I just set up a folder on the virtual hard drive called Shared and gave it full write access so I can just drag files into it via Windows XP. Also, I can also access the shared files from my XP rig in Win3.11. Pretty cool if you ask me.

File Sharing in Win3.11

damn thats old! :Q
