I dunno how you still remember all of the commands. I used to be as proficient as you back in the day but after trying to go back to it recently I struggled! Does remind me of when I first got to use Win 95, Maxim magazine gave away a free demo on a cover CD. It blew my mind and I spent months saving up for release. I couldn't go back to 3.1 after that.
I had thought that exact same thing about the creative remote! I'd say most of my floppies are pixelated art from Rainbow paint and midi songs I'd collected. I was always annoyed that my mates PC made them sound crap.
It's just much more user friendly. The structure is similiar, although you can have things like a "video" folder which contains all the videos from your hard drive, regardless of their physical location. Navigation is more like directory Opus, allowing multiple panes, etc.
I'm no expert but I *know* Windows 3.1 sucks because it just ate up memory and slowed down my PC. It was basically useless if you wanted to play games.
I'm going to call BS on Mac navigation being better. It was just as bad as Windows 3.11. You had a main file manager window you opened up to choose what program to start, like Windows 3.11 had, then you had to ROLL UP the window if you needed more room on your desktop instead of easily minimizing the window. Also, the programs on Macs sometimes never closed unless you clicked on the drop down in the upper right part of the screen then click file and quit in the top bar. Even choosing file and quit with the program's main window open didn't even kill the program and you had to do it a second time. Mac was more trash than Windows 3.11 was. Don't kid yourself. I remember "fixing" Macs in my grade middle school by going around and closing the millions of programs all the kids had opened during the week. It didn't help that the people who ran my school though that restarting a Mac would somehow break it. Oh how I loathed those macs.
My old floppy disks had Pokemon ROMs and GB emulators on them. Took literally hours to download over 28k.
Lol
I remember those Creative sound programs. Childhood nostalgia. ☺️☺️☺️
When you are playing midi or music can you drop the levels on your background music? I was trying to enjoy that
Hope there are no Michelangelo virus?
navigating windows..
That's why I loved directory opus on the amiga 😉
The remote had me pissing myself 🤣🤣

OLE is object linking and embedding, but it's not what allows drag and drop as far as I recall.
OLE = Object Linking & Embedding
I want that "Place Icons" control panel applet - could you throw that up someplace?
Yeah that background and Zombie Wars comes with that mysterious Win3.11 package you downloaded for DosBox, remember? ;)
I used Calmira II on my 486 computer to get the windows 95 interface on windows 3.11
How did you make a video on the moon?!
laughed at the Read Me message thing nice one... I'm sure I used to make things like that with my mates ;)
In your pro opinion do you think an LS-120 would be better or worse at recovering data from old 3.5in floppies?
It doesn't matter.
I think I saw the last icon in Borland Pascal 7.0, perhaps some sort of help from it?
please please tell me what the back ground music is, its so familiar, imma go mad !
well they answered yours and not mine so, Thanks ! :D

What happened if you echoed "peter has a friend"? They wouldn't have been clever enough to add that in, would they?
How is Mac folder navigation better than Windows navigation? I haven't really used a Mac but I can't imagine that it's very different.

all your videos in a single folder?! that sounds like a bad idea if you got some naughty videos xD
Can you upload the files from that "how to personalize your pc" disk?
You know it's British when they spell it 'personalise', unlike us in Canada and the US with the 'z' :)
Who else is still rocking sound blaster live! card?
I'd forgotten how awful Windows 3.1 was compared to RISC OS at the time.

+AudieHolland the only games that my windows 3.1 machine are sim city and monopoly deluxe!

I get the feeling that all the files assume you run it off the floppy and it use relative path names.
