1992 meet 2009. 2009 say hello to 1992

by Joshua Harley 25. August 2009 22:51

I can still remember when I got my first computer. It was a Leading Edge computer running an Intel 8086 with a whopping 512 KB of RAM and an internal hard drive of 10MB! Now that was a kicking system! I quickly learned that HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE only worked with Extended Memory (XMS) and Expanded Memory (EMS).

I quickly learned what things broke the system and which things don’t. format c: /y? Bad! Deletes the drive data! command.com? It’s ok, though it nests a shell.

Well, after installing the latest Windows 7, I started to feel a little nostalgic. I kind of miss those days, back where the operating system didn’t take care of you and you actually had to have an idea of what you were doing.

It got the better of me, so I managed to get Windows 3.11 online and running inside of Windows 7. They got to say hello over the network! It’s amazing that technology from 1992 can still operate in today’s world!

Without further ado, say hello again to Windows for Workgroups 3.11!

Hiya, I have just looked at your site and the info you have afforded has been of great use to me. Some of the suggestions you have given have enabled me to apply my own thought process to afford a greater understanding of the issue. Some info that is provided on the Web is not very useful but yours has been innovative. Some of the points you have raised will assist me greatly. Incidentally, I like the way you have designed your site, it is exceptional and very easy to follow. I have bookmarked you and will be back often. Thank you

I wholly agree with the above comment, the web is with a doubt growing into an important medium of communication across the globe & its as a result of internet pages similar to this that ideas are spreading so quickly.

It’s very important that schools do have <A href="http://www.stitchfactory.co.uk">school uniforms</A> to help eliminate the amount of money some children have spent on them, <A href="http://www.stitchfactory.co.uk">schoolwear</A> wise, compared to some kids whose parents are not in a position to buy expensive clothes. This help to also reduce bullying.
