People twisting CPCs together with their drill.

People on forums who "brought" something, not bought it.
 
I doubt you would get it to run on a modern computer tbh but would be interesting to try.

You could Play the original Sim City and try and print a document to a Dot Matrix..... LOL

Still even 3.1 beats the Old BBC computers that my school had, Now they were pants LOL

I remember I used to have a stick of RAM out of a old 486 PC as a key ring for years, It was a Whopping 4mb!! LOL
to be honest i would have ran it in vmware or virtualbox.

i cant install it on my current pc anyway 1 i dont own a 5.25 floppy drive and
2 pc hasnt got an ide port (ribbon cable)
 
Ahhh you will be fine.
Mine are on 3 1/2" floppys and you can use a USB floppy drive.

Though after all these years they are probably wiped clean and unreadable.

And USB didnt exist then HAHA

Bbc that's a blast from the past. We also had the rm nimbus
 
true but cause of the read and write i would rather download it. would be much quicker as well.

Dont worry about speed mate, you wouldnt get any out of 3.1!!
You needed 3.11 for that PMSL

Well that being said, Maybe you would if you could get it to run on a modern PC, Allthough you would prob need to have Cat like reflexes to control the mouse as it shuttles accross the screen at a million miles per hour LOL

Don't forget you will need a PC that is running on DOS for Win 3.1 to work
 
Incorrect abbreviations irk me - particularly from those who ought to know better.
I see Kva instead of kVA from transformer manufacturers for example.
And you really don't want to muddle mV with MV - or vice versa.
 
Car parks way too small for the building they're meant to be with and pointless double yellows everywhere else!
talking about that, i went to the brewry today to sought out some beer.

my mate that told me about the place gave me one bit of advice, reverse 100ft down the drive, there is no where to turn at the bottom.

beer barrels tight on both sides so you dont want to accidentally hit one

Big question is did you get decent beer at a decent price?
 
Being as how this thread is drifting off topic I am sitting watching some trash the missus has on. It is about a load of nutty doctors in Harley street charging an even bigger bunch of nutters ÂŁKKKKKK for getting them to tap their heads or applying leeches to them. God help us.
