3.11 – aaargh my first computer industry job was tech support at an ISP and I hated trying to explain on the phone how to get their computer connected to the Internet.

dos 6 was the last stable OS produced by MS.
OS/2 would even sorta multitask DOS apps.
the first versions of windows were also snail slow.
3.11 was the best of the early versions.

and somewhere, i still have a single sided 8″ floppy…

I have an instrument at work, still occasionally used, that runs off a computer using DOS, it’s been there for at least the decades I’ve been here.

Also, I don’t get the whole disappointment with the color scheme not carrying over. Meh.

The title reminds me that my workplace still, I believe, has a claw hammer labeled “windows system configuration tool.”

It was interesting, but I was also taken by the name “Twatface”.

That must have hurt.

That was quite a trip down memory lane. But…

…he named his computer “Twatface”?
