    It always booted fast enough (well as fast as computers were then). It was pretty fucking useless though. Dos was still way more useful and efficient in those days.

      True. Mom had a computer with Win 3.11 on it. I played on that thing for hours when I was younger. I played an unauthorized dos Star Trek game a lot.

        I played the lights off that 25th anniversary edition one. Even more so when someone got the walkthrough for me off the ol local BBS

        Office wasn’t in use as much back then, that was still Lotus and WordPerfect territory. DOS was ok if you knew how to really use it, and it took some learning. I’ve always been a simplicity over fancy UI kind of guy though, so maybe it was just me.
