      @nlghtmaremoon While I love ThinkPads, that keyboard looks a bit too big...

          @nlghtmaremoon I've used one of these. I really wish novel design hadn't fallen by the wayside.

              @nlghtmaremoon If Windows 3.1 will still run, I will admit that, in a way, their hardware support can be considered better than Linux hardware support (because I can't run Linux 2.0 on my system due to lack of support for some hardware).

              @nlghtmaremoon Its possible but kind of a pain, as Windows 3.1 doesn't natively support TCP/IP. You need to set up Winsocks and find a download of IE 2.1

                  @nlghtmaremoon "Support for tables and TrueType fonts enable you to see Web pages as they were meant to be seen." I guess Internet Explorer was a modern browser, back in the days?

                                @techdisk I still remember being able to get a CD with Netscape on it with a book about the Internet in our local library. Good days, good days...

                                        @techdisk I never did that, it was too expensive. We only used it if I had to research something for school.

Might have fried the dell mobo with the atx supply, but i didnt see sparks fly. Im looking for a dell supply now. (Btw dell stoped their stupidity and are now back to standard atx, im just stuck with an old computer)
