I loved it.

Looks good, but for my needs I think I'll have to hold out for Windows for Workgroups. Sorry.

~What others are saying~
"Glen not only taught me how to use Windows 3.1, but also how to be a man."

I would be interesting to run Windows 3.1 in a VM and assign it multiple cores, although I have heard that won't work.

That was awesome.

That was the best April Fools' Day advert I have seen in a while. ChessBase.com is usually pretty good as well. But theirs tend to be Chess related.

ME should have meant "Memory-Leak Edition."

Anyone see Google.com? They changed the name to Topeka for the day... That really makes me laugh...

If you go the real Trainsignal front page, the 3.1 training is the first thing in the rotating ad in the middle page! Ha!

3.1 ruled. WfW was better and a lot more playfull, 95 they started locking things down. Now on Vista, I'm amazed the OS allows me to type this.. I absolutely hate ME and will delete it wherever I find it. I used to even make up excuses why I needed to put a different OS on, I hated it that much. Seriously sh.te OS of ALL time!

I remember first loading windows 1 back in the day. Stuck a st.t load of disks in and hours later run the app (it was just an app back then) and all it did was a make full screen white empty box with a menu at the top... I was not impressed, especially as I stayed after college to stick all the bloody disks in and after that, I had to walk half hour to the train station and then jump on the train for an hour and another 20 minutes walk when I got there to get home! (computer course weren't as local then as they are today) This "Windows" would never catch on and will be just another fad !

Um, I can't remember if my first was the PDP-8 or the CDC-6400

-- but my 3rd was the PDP-10 and my 4th was an IBM 370-155

My first computer was a Packard Bell running none other than Windows 3.11

There was this game, I think only on PB's, where you were a mouse and had to block in these cats with blocks while trying to get the pieces of cheeze on the map. I LOVED that game. Also Skifree, how can you forget skifree?

^ I think we had the same computer.

I remember in the ski game if you kept going up instead of down and did it long enough a monster would chase you and eventual catch up and eat you.
