LGR 486 Update! Unboxing & Installing Windows 3.0

I love seeing old technology used today great upload Jack from UK

Windows 3.0 has Mutimedia Extensions when you have the version with the 1.0 version of Multimedia Extensions installed with the Operating System installed so thst you can have sounds and MIDI play if you have the compatible sound card that works with Windows 3.0.

Speaking of Nokia PCs, there is an OEM version of IBM OS/2 with the Nokia logo on bootup. Fun stuff.

The Computer Chronicles - Windows 3.0 (1990)

I can almost smell these old stuff. Mhmm. Smells good.

Lawks, just installed Windows 3.1 and the memories started coming back. All these games I forgot about like Rodent's Revenge!

I would love to use that old interface in windows 11

So those plastic things have program language code that then converts to machine code that then converts to matrix code that then converts into quantum light code for the computer to then read and run windows ?

Very interesting. I didn't even know there was Win 3.0, and you mentioned 3.11? I bought a 486 back in '93 or so. Anyway, I had Win 3.1, which I thought was amazing. I upgraded to Win 95. I had a blast learning the basics. Now, I have Win 11 and honestly, I miss my old-school computers. I like watching your videos, even though I don't understand everything you talk about.

i still have my 3.0 installation disks (5 1/4) couldn't tell you if they still work.. if not, i suppose i could write a new copy to them?

Oh man, one of those Nokia 386s was my first computer, specifically the MikroMikko ("MicroMike") 4 m336SX, or DT336SX as I believe it was called outside Finland. I wish I still had it.

my LGR mug just arrived! unboxed while watching this video :D

Windows sold in Japan included a pamphlet with a fee for support!

Never heard of Forsythe, but St. Louis represent!

Крутой видос!

I remember using win3.0 and it was great!

DUDE! STEINS GATE REFRENCE! YOU ARE THE WINNER OF THE INTERNET!

I used to love shopping at Forsythe Computers although at the time this would have been sold I was working at a competing software company in St. Louis.

I had an opportunity to operate Windows 3.1 way back.

my fisrt pc was from my cousin with windows 95

Casio FP 6000

That wood grain PC is disgustingly beautiful!

Making it all make sense™

Ah the days of allocating memory above the "maximum memory" of 640 k of ram. Changing the Autexec.bat and config.sys to get your PC running good.

Oh that keyboard! Ohhhh baby....

This is where my vintage computer passion started

Random Trivia: did you know Gabe newell from Valve Software works in this specific version of windows. Yeah I know and yes there the number 3. so technically He did release something with the #3

I’d love to see a video on the first version of windows ever!

👍👍👍👍

Big differences between windows 3.0 and 3.1 especially wfw 3.11 and 3.51...
I am an upper goober old-school I T nerd and remember the 1994 war of MS Dos IBM Os/2 wars.. and the first E3 expo held at the Georgia world congress center due to an undiagnosed illness I taught myself Quick BASIC aka Qbasic... however I attended E3 expo2004 tenth anniversary in Los Angeles for my 21st birthday.. and it was glorious one of my items on lived a great high quality life before I die... I was born in 83.. the video games rot your brain Nintendo generation.. I decided I'm going to learn how to make video games I have various IT certifications and licenses like amateur radio license FAA remote uav/ drone licenses

So,before W8 and W8.1,there was W3 and W3.1
I wasn't aware of the W3 edition of Windows

I kinda feel guilty about when I upgraded to Win95. The salesperson said "I guess you'll like the improvements." and without thinking I said "Oh yeah, that Windows 3 stuff is so crappy, absolute garbage. I mean, God, what was Microsoft thinking? I still get nauseous whenever I remember doing something involving Windows 3. I'm not so much moving into the future as I am trying to escape the horrible, disgusting past..." and the poor guy looked uncomfortable. 🤣

Me born in 2003: yes, interesting....

I don't understand this. I was taught that Windows 3.1 was the first public release. But now I keep seeing all of these various earlier versions being released on retail packaging?

It's so large, it demands an audience.

That's what she said.

Ah back in the good old days, when you didn't have multiple updates every week!

I think i love those manual books, i read them all since i was a kid. It was marvelous

biggest difference between windows 3.0 and 3.1 for me: 3.1 didn't run on my 286 :D

Are those Nokia-computers known as "MikroMikko"-line of computers? I tried to google those numbers that LGR shows, but couldn't find anything other than cellphones.

Back in the day and even to this day I always tried to set up the swap file to a separate hard drive something Linux made easy.

Back in the day I would install MSDOS and after that is set up I’d install Windows. I never could get myself to install Windows without DOS. Windows 95 was the first Windows I ever installed clean with no DOS.

Man I wish I had an old computer to install these old OS's on. I wanna play around with them so bad

That computer is snappier than most modern PCs.

Wow, it's amazing how crap it was.

I wear my Party wallpaper socks often and giggle to myself.

imagine windows 3.0 to someone who has only used dos
