Well that is what I remember anyway. But I think I started out with less than 640k ram and when windows 3 came out I upgraded to 640K and played hell with the ini files to get to "Enhanced" mode.

Damn, I must be old. Your system must have been about my third computer.

My first computer was a laptop with 2 times 720 K floppies, this was a top model for having TWO drives, so one would have to switch floppies less often. And 720K floppies were the latest rave, much better then the 360 K floppies.

Of course, our world class University computing center had 20 megabit hard disks the size of a industrial washing machine, a few years earlier already.

But back to the topic: if there is no upgrade from xp, maybe we should just stick with xp.

I have a legal Vista license and worked hard do downgrade my laptop to xp and am very happy with it.
