Windows 3.11 - that brings back some memories. When windows was just one step above DOS. Those where the good ole days when the computer could run on 8 megs of memory. As compared to 1 gig required by vista.

Things sure have changed over the past 15 years.

My first computer ran windows 3.11, had 8 megs of memory, had a 75mhz processor and a 1.2 gig hard drive.

After the first major upgrade, I was running windows 95, 32 megs of memory, and a 166 mhz processor - and that was top of the line for back then. The fastest CPU on the market was the 233, but that one cost a fortune.

That was back when memory cost more then $2 a meg. That 32 megs of memory cost me $64.
