The Early Days

We, who are ancient enough, clearly remember the joy brought to our world by Win3.1. And the problems caused by owning what had been a major investment, a 386 computer!

We were not alone in having those problems. Even famous people had problem.


Way back in those Olde Testament days, Abraham wanted to upgrade his PC from Win3.1 to Windows 95.

Isaac was incredulous. "Pop," he said, "you can't run Windows 95 on your old, slow 386. Everyone knows that you need at least a fast 486 with a minimum of 16 MB of memory in order to multitask effectively with Windows 95."

But Abraham, the man of faith, gazed calmly at his son and replied, "God will provide the RAM, my son."
