Double click the left [ - ] button to close the window. This actually still works today for win32 apps (like Paint) by double clicking the app icon on the left.
USB 1.0 wasn't released until January of 1996, and according to the Home Computer Museum, the 300GL was released in 1997, which would make sense given its 64MB of RAM, which would've been a ridiculous amount in 1995. It does kind of make the choice of Windows 3.1 feel rather out of place, lol. Regardless, love the video, love the channel, love the thumbnail art! Keep up the good work!
I feel like people who use old hard drives are living on the edge lmao. Say what you will about SD/CF adapters but I'd rather screw with those then have a 30 year old hard drive that could break at any point lmfao
I remember in 1998 and 1999, the school district I was in started replacing all of their old IBM EduQuest, Compaq, and Apple IIe computers with systems in this style. The oldest ones ran Windows for Workgroups 3.11, which during summer 1999 were upgraded to Windows 95. The newer ones, which were purchased some time in 1999, all had Windows 98.
A lot of power users got Central Point Desktop or Norton Desktop to have a better working environment. These replaced the Program Manager as the Windows 3.x shell and provided drive icons on the desktop, a top taskbar, better file manager, and multiple desktops / workspaces. I had an 8MB 486 back then and felt like I was running out of memory when I had a couple of applications open with CP Desktop and a 265 color wallpaper set. Good times.
Ha, I just recently have been playing with setting up a Gateway 2000 Pentium II machine with MS-DOS 7.1 and Windows 3.1. 7.1 is an unofficial release put together by enthusiasts which creates a full release of the very last DOS version that shipped under the covers of Win 9x releases. It's main advantage has to be that it can read and write FAT32 partitions. Have you tried installing the graphics drivers for Windows? It would make your user experience vastly better, with higher resolution and colour depth. Love this ol' computer as it was current when I was starting my career, and I did work for an IBM dealer for a while back then.
I absolutely enjoy this old computer restoration videos. Awesome to see them coming back to life!
