$47 shipped?

Isn't that at least twice the going rate?

[microsoft windows]

If it was a good deal, then I would've bought it already.

I think I was still using AmigaOS when 3.1 was out LOL.

[berserkfan]

I won't use this crap even if you paid me $4700.

You should really be buying 3.11 in this day and age.

that's the kind of thing someone with 10000 unsold 3.1s in stock should be saying. 

awesome vintage software! be cool! be retro! nostalgic for the good old days of the computing past! or whatever sounds believeable.

You'll probably want this to go with it.

That is something only a true collector, or someone who is mentally insane, would buy.

Is there even a single person on geekhack (outside MicrosoftWindows, of course) who still runs a 3.1? Unless you're so geeky that you're still into tetris and worms?

My question to you is why do you appear to be so offended by this? And if you actually are, then why are you posting here?

Already have a shrink wrapped copy of Windows 3.0...with Mouse.

Editors choice 1990 baby!

Hey, what's wrong with worms? I still play that with my kids. They love it. Granted it's not the original, but it's a later revision of the game on the Playstation 3. It's still really fun

There are people who run all manner of vintage software using VMWare. Why? There are some older applications that simply won't run under latter OS's. And personally, what people are into is their business.

i still play tetris. What's wrong with tetris?

[False_Dmitry_II]

I think playing tetris on a 486 with Win 3.1 is the problem. Not tetris in general.

It's only a problem if you don't have a copy of Windows 3.1.
