That's it, I'm switching to Windows!
Windows 3.11 that is. The last pure Windows there was.
Joke's on you. It's basically a dos s shell.
Exactly, that means it hasn't infected my entire system and is constantly connected and phoning home about my computer usage and browsing habits all day. I can just play Skifree and Minesweeper and not worry about a damn thing.
You forgot gorillas.bas you heathen ;)
It isn't even connected to anything
Can we modernize 3.11?
Why modernize 3.11 when you can modernize OS/2 Warp instead?
My favorite bit of OS/2 snark from back then was "OS/2 = half an operating system"
Cause I don't know what OS/2 Warp is. Is that IBMs?
Yes, it's their OS from around the time. Was pretty good, worth playing around with a little, WinWorldPC has images if you're interested. It can run I think Windows 3.0 as well inside the OS if I remember right?
Oooo thanks! I'll take a look. I'm in the process of making a multiboot external drive.
Can't modernise peak operating system
I'd just want a file explorer and Firefox to run. That's all I ask for.
