AIM for Windows 3.1
Posted on: 02-19 12:50 am

I run Windows for Workgroups 3.11 on real hardware, my customized HP Pavilion 6370z with a Pentium II, 128 MB of RAM, 3.2 GB HDD, ATI 3D Xpressions, Sound Blaster 2.0, Creative 24x CD-ROM, and 3Com Ethernet card. These specs are more suitable for a Windows 95 PC (aside from that 1991 Sound Blaster 2.0 :D), but Windows 3.1 drivers are available for all of the hardware I'm using so I decided to set up an overpowered Windows 3.1 machine :D

Not only am I posting this message from my Windows 3.1 PC in Internet Explorer 3, I'm also using AIM 1.0! I haven't started any chats on here yet, but I was able to log in! I'm not sure if a newer version of AIM is available for 16-Bit Windows, so if anyone knows about a newer 16-Bit version, please let me know :D

I'll add photos from my phone shortly after posting this.

My phone sucks (not just the camera) so I apologize for the somewhat blurry photos :O

Only one version that I am aware of. then again i wonder what win32 libs are used, would be interesting if win32s would run a bin32 build, but it may be a stretch. i have more than a few 386/486 machines around for which to test on..

I don't have enough space on that desk for my 17" LG Studioworks :O. If I did, I'd use that instead of this Dell LCD :D
