You are all going to think I'm crazy, but years ago, I bought a dell
dimension 4100 for use as our receptionist,s computer. It came with ME.
For years it ran without a hiccup, even with a laserjet 4 attached to it
that was shared throughout the office. The funny thing was, if you kept
the os squeeky clean, so did 3.1, 95OSR2, 98 and ME. The caveat was if
any user was ever dumb enough to catch a virus by clicking on a bad
attachment, the party was over until a reinstall.
But in the 3.1 days, install was a breeze. A couple of dos 6.22 disks,
a couple of win 3.1 disks and a couple of office disks, load your TSRs,
trumpet winsock and the job was done in 20 minutes. And it all fit in 8
meg on the disk.
Man I miss my old 386/33 with math co-processor 4 meg of ram and a
whopping 120 meg hd and 2400 baud modem. Linux fit on it back then as well.
