Look at how fast Excel loads. Compare to modern high-end PC with it's latest version.

Plenty of people would have used this purely for Cardfile.

em-dosbox is a good project.

I was expecting it to boot to DOS and then having to typing "win"

"For the best experience, use Chrome."

That's not Windows 3.11. That kind of thing is circa 2000, and a state none of us should want the Web to return to.

Exited to dos, found Bubble Bobble in GAMES directory and started to play. And that's mostly what I used to do as a kid at the times of Windows 3.11!

Can we have icons like these again please.

I started from Windows 98 and always loved the icons. They actually represented the application and purpose. These days they are more focused on looking modern. Lots of times they are not even distinguishable between each other.

I loved messing around with this for a short time. Very nostalgic.
