I know this won't install on your Mac, but I thought someone may be interested in having them for free. Let me know and I will ship them your way.

Claimed, Thank you!

Is the windows 3.1 complete?
EDIT: Safe to assume all floppies?

All Complete, all floppies, don't think 3.1 came on CD.

Want me to throw you some paypal to send them south of the border?

Ah the good old days of Windows 3.1......I remember that every time you closed the Program Manager the PC had to be restarted! Had some good times with 3.1, mine had a Turbo button on the front and I never found out what it did!!

Haha, I remeber those days...that was probably around my 3rd or 4th computer. I to remember the "turbo" button, to this day its one of those un-explained mysteries for me, lol. Was my computer a diesel? :confused:

I'm actually quite intersted to find out what it actually did...I'm thinking it was the FSB (it went from 33 to 66-the "norm" for the time.

It was my first computer ever-and I STILL managed to make a darn good picture of Thomas the Tank Engine with the included Paint-ish program:P!

I believe the turbo changed the settings on the processor to go from, say, 133 MHz to 166 MHz when it was pressed.

The turbo button was used for old legacy programs that did not have built-in timing - so that you could deactivate 'turbo', basically reducing the clock speed so that the application ran at the correct speed and not too fast.
