Windows collection

I'm having a bit of a clear up and just came across my Windows 95, 98 and ME CD's. I'd forgotten I still have them. I'm probably now going to spend the evening installing them all under virtualbox and digging out a load of old games that won't run under XP/Vista/W7. Should be fun and a bit of a trip down memory lane

I did that with 3.11. I got the TCP/IP installed and it even ran IE 5.

virtual boxes seem useless at playing games imo

Don't waste your time. Bin them and move into the future.

Try dosbox if you're looking to play some old games.

Have fun. Here's some needles you can stab in your eyes, to add to the pleasure.

Yay ME! I can vouch for its nickname of Many Errors! What a piece of crap!

Reinstalling them will just destroy any happy memories you may have (happy memories concerning an O/S? God man, get a life!)

It's a sad fact that games, O/S, films, programs, music etc are usually never as good as you remember them!

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be!
