  6. A #GitHub repository for Windows 3.1 tiled backgrounds, because apparently someone thought the world needed a "vintage" .bmp museum. 🤦‍♂️ Surely nothing screams cutting-edge #tech like an archive of 30-year-old #wallpapers, right? 🚀🔍

  11. Yesterday I noticed a license plate with the letters PIF, and that got me thinking about Program Information Files, which were used in Windows 3 and 3.1 to hold information about DOS mode programs. You could specify the video mode or any command-line arguments. I remember reading that they originated in OS/2 and were carried over to Windows.

    I will never, ever use any of this information ever again. Why does it come to mind so readily when I cannot remember for the life of me the names of my daughter’s friends and their parents?!

  13. Any Windows for Workgroups 3.11 experts in the audience?

    If my network cable is unplugged I get "EMM386 has detected error #06 in an application at memory address 00B8:1460" and Windows won't start. Ethernet card is a Realtek NE2000-type PnP ISA card.

    Anyone know of a fix? Other than keeping a second system.ini with networking turned off?

  18. The “Officialist” SkiFree Homepage
    SkiFree was part of one of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack releases for Windows 3.1, part of their limited gaming output before the went in on Xbox. Who knows, at the rate they're going, maybe they won't be doing Xbox much longer.

  19. Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

    This is Windows 3.1-tan, also known as Ōbaba-sama (大婆様), a personification of Windows 3.1! She’s a quiet and graceful character often depicted in a long, frilly violet gown with a 3.1 brooch on her collar.

    Ōbaba has a unique connection to DOS Kitty, her inseparable companion who represents DOS. This relationship reflects Windows 3.x’s reliance on DOS. In some depictions, DOS Kitty is portrayed as a black cat, while in others, she’s a small catgirl nurse.

    In the OS-tan family, Ōbaba is considered the younger sister of Oichi (Windows 1.0-tan) and the older sister of NT-Mama. She’s also often seen as Windows 95-tan's mother.

    Originally, Ōbaba did not exist as a character and Windows 3.1 was portrayed as a box similar to what Windows 98 and 98SE-tan have but more recent depictions prefer the human design by EG33. Her manner of speaking is often ending sentences with "ja". Despite being retired, she’s depicted tending a family shrine or occasionally donning military uniforms, suggesting a proactive role in the "OS Wars."

    Ōbaba’s design debuted in 2004.
