Thank you for not making me feel like such an oldtimer here. As soon as I saw the name I thought "I bet I'm the only one who remembers it".

windows 3.11 aka "windows for warehouses" was actually pretty nifty and in a prior life I installed it at many small businesses who took full advantage of it's built in network mail client and many other very useful features.

It absolutely killed Lantastic which, at the time was pretty much pervasive in small businesses. Also at about the same time we replaced a lot of Arcnet and Token ring networks with UTP ethernet which I would have been amazed back then to hear would still be widely in use in 2013.



You might equally amazed that we're STILL running TokenRing on part of our manufacturing floor. Today.


I've not yet been to the Computer History Museum. How is it? That's pretty cool that they have a TokenRing network set up!


I am amazed. I just did a quick search and couldn't find any token ring network cards for sale, you guys must be hoarding them to keep it all running.
