Only if you install the Shell Technology Preview from Microsoft. NT 3.51 came with the classic Win 3.x look and feel as well as Program Manager.
I think we can safely assume that AGI is still a good ways out then. These AI LLM products really do well on the illusion of seeming intelligent to regular folks, but I'm not fully convinced they can replace human…
Lik Sang was awesome back in the day for procuring accessories like classic XBOX controller to USB adapters that weren't dodgy duct tape jobs. Hard to believe they were forced out of business by Sony two decades ago.
Tell me about it. Those OS X versions you mentioned for Tiger, Snow Leopard, and Mavericks were some of the best releases of OS X ever. Thankfully, macOS Golden Gate is proving to be a decent release so far in my tests…
Ah. I stand corrected then.
The UI found in WorkBench 1.x was designed to be the way it was so that owners could plug their Amigas into television sets of the day and still be able to make out something without requiring a pristine purpose-built…
I'm late to the party with my comment here, but it should probably be said. Experiencing my formative years in the 90s, and having a PC buff for a dad, we periodically paged through the PC Magazine issues that we would…
Also, I’m impressed at some of the up scaling techniques that some players use to help improve the quality of DVD movies. Sure, it’s not native, but it’s certainly not bad looking either.
Hilariously, DVD production could potentially outlive Blu-Ray discs, since DVDs are still popular enough 30 years later, and surpass the sales of Blu-Ray movies.
Honestly, one of my colleagues said it best. "Do you want friends? Or do you want to be right?" Sometimes there really is no glory on those hills you die on.
I think he was referring to Carmack's note on Burger Becky when she passed away.
Luckily, for gaming purposes in 2026, 32 GB of RAM is perfectly fine for the foreseeable future. I'd only consider 64 GB and up if you're using your system heavily for virtual machines or high end workstation level…
In my humble opinion, 4K gaming is rather overrated. I find high refresh rates at 1440p to be the sweet spot and you don't have to get a top-end GPU to drive it at ultra settings in games.

It's amazing how far this emulator has come over the past few years. It runs so well on my Mac Mini M4 Pro system that it has effectively replaced my real 500 MHz Celeron rig for all but the most demanding activities.
So unlike some folks, I’m still very much reliant on $DAYJOB for the majority of my income. But I managed to carve out a niche in an unexpected place. OS/2 consulting It all started when I made a connection through a…
Apples to apples? More like Windows to Windows. LOL
It didn't help that the earliest P5 Pentiums ran on a 5V rail. Newer revisions starting with the P54 core used 3.3V and helped with keeping the chips cool.
Well and the earliest versions of Windows 95 used FAT16 (specifically VFAT for support for LFNs or long file names). So enjoy those ridiculous cluster sizes if your hard disk even approached a gig or so.
I wholeheartedly agree. Presto was very lightweight and, to my knowledge, exceptionally standards compliant as well. I think the last version of the Presto engine did have a source code leak, but naturally it's not a…
I get the love for Macbook trackpads, but Lenovo really nailed it with the ThinkPad trackpoint and glass trackpad combo, especially on more recent models.
I know Lenovo has their issues, but out of all the non-Apple laptop companies, they are by far the best out there. And to their credit, they do try to listen to customer feedback. Also, AFAIK, Lenovo still has their…
This is incredibly helpful! Thanks!
Thank you! I didn't see this when I was first looking into it.
Hi tabbott. Thanks kindly for offering to answer questions. :) I signed up on your site just a bit ago, but I'm a bit concerned with the paid upgrade. Unlike Discord, I need to pay per user, which I find onerous and…
