I'm Windows 3.1!!!!! Ahhh the Toshiba T2130CT with a pirated copy of Windows 3.1! Back then I thought that every coy of 95 used a single key, not a ton of them.
I remember that before Win95 came out MS had a news confrence that each copy can only use one serial number. Ofcorse this was when drinkordie.com started serving it like two weeks before win95 was relased. I think MS tryed to pull a fast one for people so they couldn't get a illegal copy. One thing I hated before I got the internet, when I had Windows3.1 and WFW 3.11 I didn't have the floppys and I would have to get some one to loan it to me. I finaly bought WFW3.11 shortly after Win95 came out and after a while I downloaded windows95 off of a BBS Server. Sadly for the longest time I was stuck with the damn OEM default VGA driver for my Trident video card. This was before I could surf websites. Didn't get a real ISP account untill early 96.

I had great times with Win3.x, I still use it for my 386 Laptop that is used for playing simcity and Wolfenstein 3D.
Also back in the day I had Windows NT3.51 installed on my server. It was my frist server and was a slow POS. Pentium at 75MHz, 64MB ram, 500MB HD, 2X Panasonic compatable CD-ROM, two 3com 56k Modems, 3com 4/16M Token ring. The reason why I had two 56k modems was so I can be connected to my favoite local BBS Server and also beable to use AOL on the other 56k modem. My parents had two phone lines in the house but since I did all of my surfing at night I used both lines. lmao
Anyway, some times I wish we were back when Win3.x and WinNT 3.x were still used as choice.
Wouldnt it be great if we could just go back to ~1995, like, the years went back, but our computers and knowledge stayed the same.... we would truly have the *BEST* computers ever, and know more than anyone else.
Now THAT would be cool! (bounce)
Actually, I was gonna call Q today and mention that hahahah
Ever seen the movie Wargames? That would be cool. To just walk into the boy's room and say to him "check it out, I have a pentium III with 500mhz, 384mb ram, a total of 40gb disk space, two CDrom drives, and you can make your own cds, and a monitor with a maximum resolution of 1024x786 and a graphics card that can display millions of colors!"
I think the poor kid would faint :cool:
Then he would trash his Altair 8800 system

Wargames was an awesome movie. DOS at it's finest...haha
As to Fish's statement, I wish the same thing too some times. We would be the best of the best.

That was not DOS, That was BASIC!
I really liked that old mainframe. With all the flickering lights and stuff, and that cool acoustic modem and the voice synthesizer on that boy's Altair computer
Check out those massive 8"floppy disk drives!

The book was also really good.
Ah really? haha I always thought it was some type of weird-DOS. thanks for the correction.
QBASIC is more graphical, easier to use than the plan old BASIC that came with DOS 1.1..easier to compile programs into .exe files. Download Qbasic 4.5....thats the best version to use.
Has anyone seen the movie Hackers? That movie was cool.
Funny thing about Wargames, it really happen. Ofcorse the book and movie over did it but some kid really hacked into a goverment server and fucked up some major shit. Also the book and movie used a lot of other things from what other hackers did back then. Like the payphone thing, they would do phone freaking with payphones. Thing is the caps don't unscrew, they're glued on. The trick is with that was take a nail and put it into the center of the reciver and used the metal casing on the phone to zap it to get a dialtone.
WFWG 3.11 is my favorite Classic Windows. It is the most updated of the 3.1x's and even today isn't completely dead. And besides, aol 2.5 runs best on it.

I'd use them more often if I could get on the internet with them. My cable doesn't have drivers for it. Farthest back it'll go is NT 4.0.
