I'm very Interested If you did In fact experience "Windows 3.1". If so, I'd love to read your thoughts.

I've posted quite a bit on that, but no one has come across It.

i wouldn't know what it was called back then but i did sure decide the fist time i used it that would be my fav thing .....and from there it just got better after that it would be win 95 and then the dial up modem

I see.

From memory, Windows 3.1 was released In the very early 90s. So you're looking at an OS In the mid to late 80s.

First computer experience was way back in the mid 2000s. It was on a chunky desktop that was running some sort of Windows OS, probably XP. The first time I recall using a computer was with a few games for kids. They were called AfterDarkGames, which included things like Bad Dog 911, Mowin Maniac, Toaster Run, and Roger Doger. Another game we had was called Win A Million where you would be given a pyramid of intense questions that we obviously didn't know any answers to since we were 6. But a family friend came over occasionally and he would destroy the game. He was older, near blind, and an air force veteran. We would only read him the questions and he would tell us the answers which would always be there.

First computer experiences were really fun, but they were the start of being hooked on virtual games.

I was 11 and was playing on the potato pc of my dad for the first time. I've played GTA San Andreas all day long.

My mother bringing home our 386 and telling us we'd still be using it in college.
I remember when we had to upgrade the great grey beast in order that it run Windows 95. My brothers and I could have figured out how to do the upgrade but my mother took it to a repair shop that almost fucked up the entire system.
Ever since 4th grade I've been building my own zombies out of old Dells and HP's and such. I remember when my biggest upgrade was to a zombie'd Dell running at 400MHz with 256MB RAM. It was a huge step up from my desktop form case at 133MHz with 6MB RAM and a144kb modem. The Dell also had a LAN card and a 56k modem, but by the time I was done with it we had 256kb DSL, so the LAN card came in very handy to connect to the computer we used to house the internal modem and act as router.
Wow... It's been a while...

Still remember the sound of dial up. We had less than 500 MB of RAM. Floppy disks were still a thing. Runescape/Neopets were just starting up.
