 |  Iconized  Ok, now I just got a system from a customer that claims they are having issues with there system. The very funny ass part of this, is that it is a Pentium 90mhz running windows 3.11 for work groupsCrap, I can hardly remember what to do in that OS Man, I can't believe that anyone is still using that version of Windows! They still have the original Doom loaded on this system and have a neat little program called "Out and Back"! I don't know how many of you remember "Out and Back", but in its day, that was the best program for allowing DOS based games to run from Windows without a ton of issues. Its funny how most of us have become so damn used to just clicking an Icon to do what we need to do, and Windows 3.11 sure as hell was nothing like todays OS's So, the bottom line is, how many remember how to navigate within these very old operating systems???   | ||||||||||||||
