this feels surreal - in under 20 minutes, i setup a full win 3.1 w/ dos 6.22 and win 98 VMs. this took HOURS back in the day.

Win 3.1 was less than 3 minutes.. it was wild how fast it went and how fast it runs with what would have been about $20k worth of hardware back then.

i'd like to start streaming OLD pc games in their natural habitat.. so this seemed like the only valid way to do that.

love how win98 comes with bloatware...

- it's a little disappointing, you just load it up, no SFX.. VMWare should fix that. -- nm - colin Apr 29, 10:03

    - the belt feed is really accurate if you still do duplicate forms... i guess it's cheaper than the ink for printing triplicate? -- nm - colin Apr 29, 10:14
