Please don't make me cry... I remember in the 90s not understanding all the PC thing that only came with DOS, Hercules/CGA/VGA, a speaker, etc.

Few years later, Windows 3.1 was a quasi-DOS frontend.



My first PC was a 386 SX.

After I got hold of Windows 3.1 and had some Windows only software, I trimmed my autoexec.bat and config.sys to load just the essential MS-DOS stuff, and jump strait into Windows.


I know for about 6 months when switch to 3.1 I kept trying to pull down the lo res screen to get to the high res screen.


Same here :(
