#OMG... I ❤️ that series... I still have those old #PC entertainment utilities... get this... designed for (Win 3.1) #WIN31 or later... (which means... #WIN2000 at best)...

Wish replies allowed photos... (found it... needed to scroll lol) still have the original boxes (remember when software came in a box... with instructions...) 🤪

I still have #Homesite in the box... yes I was around well "before the internet"...

Would love a #Babylon5 modern day reboot...! #sweet...!

Stumbled across Calmira and saw the screenshots archive: http://calmira.net/screenshots/index.htm

Looks like it's a really nice way to make Windows 3.x much nicer to use.

@12thRITS I remember that a measure of skill in computer businesses was whether you were able to confidently edit the autoexec.bat. Incidentally all our batch files were kept in the c:/Belfry.

Oh I feel old.

Found it. In a coffee can. I'm sure that made sense at the time. Well anyway. Now I can capture whatever nonsense I get into on the #aptiva for fellow #msdos or #win31 #retrocomputing nutters out there.

Hello beautiful. Rescued from a defunct church organ repair company's office. #msdos #win31 #ibm #aptiva

So sieht übrigens ein #bluescreen unter OS/2 aus. Nur um mal den Mythos zu widerlegen, dass das damals das stabilere System war. Eventuell zu #DOS / #Win31 Zeiten. Aber spätestens mit #Win95 war das Geschichte.

However, at least using the generic epson 24 pin driver for linux, I'm getting pretty crap results.

Using the generic epson 9 pin driver for linux, I got even worse results (go figure)

Using an old 570+ driver (that's where the 70 came from) I got pretty crap results too (I think the 570 was a 9 pin printer, so this is not surprising.)

I am going to try it from my zine station in a few minutes, using a generic #win31 24-pin driver, and see how that goes.

Alright, I'm going to try Arachne as a web file viewer. I'll set it up in a few minutes.

I think I'm going to try and use QWK or BlueWave for offline email reading, which means that I need to find a #DOS or #Win31 program that can handle QWK or BlueWave email, and also I need to find a linux program that will fetch and send mail over POP/SMTP or IMAP and toss it as QWK or bluewave files.

If you have any thoughts on this, please let me know.
