I imagine not too many people are running 3.1 these days. I believe I have an old 486 with it installed but I haven't booted that thing up in a couple of years.

36848 2002-02-24 22:03:00 I was using 3.11 on a 486/100 with 16 Mb Ram and 600Mb hdd up to about 4 months ago. It had given me 6 years of good service running standalone but when we decided to go online it just did not manage to hack it.
:-(
Not enough memory, not enoughdisk, not enough video driver speed, sloow printing etc. So I bought a 2nd hand 3Yr old DEll with NT4 and moved the old HDD to new system as 2nd drive to keep all the files.

36849 2002-02-25 01:58:00 My main MS OS is DOS. (And even then I actually prefer DR DOS). But I've got W3.11 on several machines for Write or Word, and a few other things which have to have Windows. I've even got W95 on two machines so I can use Brittanica ...

But mostly I use Linux.

I have another machine XP when I need speed. DOS is still great!
