  • @plzdonhack XP and Windows Me, how can u miss XP

  • its bill gates! 5:22

  • I Actually remember playing prince of persia in windows 3.1 when I was 5yo (1995) and look were we are just 17 years later...

  • Great video!

  • Very cool. I remember installing windows for workgroups (3.11?) plenty of years ago and being amazed at it's capabilities. OK, it has to be said that you sound like an attractive young lady, the reality is that you are a bloke... I can live with that. Very nice piece full of enthusiasm and good stuff :)

  • poor georgey... he never got to leave his room...

  • You have Windows 3.1 software? Please give it to me

  • Fun fact, Windows 7 is really Windows NT 6.1.

  • good find tweeterman287 those are pretty rare you could get over 50 bucks for that although i have a bunch.

  • Windows is so easy...even a caveman can do it.

  • I have Windows NT 4 Server still in the box.

  • We should put Windows 3.11 in a time capsule, so in the future we can say, "Yeah.. it was THAT bad"

  • When are you going to post an update on this?

  • that is why macintosh was better

  • the reason why disk 6 is all by itself is because you only need it to install certain features i figured out that with windows 3.0

  • So did you send the card? And what happened?

  • i bet this guy was an 3 year old when his parents first bought the comp

  • you should keep the box its rare

  • gay

  • i had an original full floppy set of windows 3.11 up until recently when the disks started corrupting because they were old and had been used too much.. luckily i imaged all the floppies ages before. i adore windows 3.1 i've got it running mp3's and displaying 64k color on a machine. windows 95 onward just don't keep me as entertained as w3.1 :)

  • Windows 3.1 is the best Microsoft product ever! I actually loved it at that time. More reliable than anything else which came out of Microsoft. By the way did you install it on your computer?

  • Grow up kid.

  • @tenchidbz Lol Says the guy trolling on youtube,

    

  • And then came Windows Virus-I mean Vista...

  • Theyd freak out over like photoshop

  • Love it! I'm fascinated by time capsules like this, mostly because it's things that at the time, we never paid any attention to, and took for granted - and now, 20 years later, they take on a new significance and are quite special. Great vid! :)

  • Windows 3.1 much better than vista

  • ARE YOU A WIZARD??? 5:26

  • LOL! I did the same thing when I was 11! Except it was a handwritten note and it was to Sony.

  • wow !

  • BEAT OFF IN MY TITTIES.

  • It must be really late at night

  • 'new' lol

  • I still have my instruction book for Windows 95 in good condition packed in somewhere. It had the hologram for authenticity and registration key. It is only half as thick as the book.

  • All the ridiculously large manuals are probably dedicated to those who had probably never owned - or used for that matter - a computer before.

  • 3:51

    Did you try and call the numbers?

  • when i was in kindergarten The computers were windows 3.1...and it was 2002...My school is poor XD

  • @coolcatevan9 hahahaha what the hell

  • Is this 1992?No.WHAAAAT!Theres a 7th windows WHAAAAT!

  • I remember my grandfather got a computer, Windows 3.1, and all the small business software kit and spent over $2,000 all together, which was ridiculous back in the day. I remember even BEFORE the floppy disks when we had those big ass tape decks haha this really takes me back man lol

  • doesn't look like a new box to me, looks like it was re-wrapped and put back in the original box, seeing how beat up it is...

  • Haha. Sunburst "NEW!" logo. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF a lot of stuff had lame graphics on them like that. HAHAHA

  • yeah they ought to ship full-scale manuals with their products again

    and not leave customers without prior expertise,

    to know about nothing except obvious GUI functions...

  • compaq rules

  • lol do CC and go to 7:18..yup its going to take a nap xD

  • do CC and go at 0:47.. xD

  • Can you Take Pictures of every Page in the Windows ShowCase and Send them to Me? I have Windows 3.1 too

  • @er10b that's the funniest thing i've heard all day. you just made my day!

  • smexy voice o3o

  • Why dont you send it back. But use a current Microsoft address

  • you're a lucky boy, when you turn 50 you'll look like a 30-year-old sexy guy XD

  • so did you send the slip?

  • all those babies on 6:16 were probably teenagers by then since it was 2009 at the time.

  • I wonder what Microsoft would do if you sent that registration card in?

  • @er10b Pause at 3:28 with annotations on and you'll find out what microsoft did

  • I gotta have this one!

  • I still have Windows 3.1 on my old compaq, works like a dream.

  • i used to fck up my pc alot back then in 1994 and keep (love) re-installing with those diskettes. Ah such fond learning memories ..

  • Did you ever get that Laptop running? or you just gave up? that seemed like a good idea to get an old piece of computer history up and running.

  • You should send in the registration slip and see what they say. :D

  • i dont get why people need verifications of ure age, are they pervs or somat lolOLo

  • woow they must of been pretty damn "DUMB" back then to need a getting started guide as big as a c++ guide! dude love your videos!!!

  • Will it run crisis?

  • Lol. This was uploaded on my 13th b-day. XD

  • Ever fix that laptop?

  • i have a compaq presario v6000 with a jacked upe hard drive, mouse, and motherboard

  • inteladraw is Paint!!

  • I got an OS2 War 3 and There was a Big Book that had a Wabsite printed on lots of Baby's ass's, I sent in a Card for My Packard Bell PC and there was no more Packard Bell Place on the Address I sent it to, I got it Back as Unable to Forward, Address not Found.

  • WOW those manuals REALLY does prove it to be easy to use!

  • I have windows 7 :D

  • I think Microsoft and Bill Gates wil be surpised if they received a Windows 3.1 register form.

  • this was what i had on my first pc oh god its so slow

  • man, you are kinda weak no ofence

  • dude your funny i shall add u as friend and sub :D

  • lucky dude

  • Alas, poor Tweeter! Unable to capitalize on the Bieber Fever before it subsided!

    No offense, of course. Sorry if it still does cause offense.

  • This was the time, kiddies, that 1 Megabyte was more then enough for a hard drive :3

  • @Luablox

    Haha, funny to think how people were amazed at that when we have pictures bigger than that nowadays.

  • "NEW!" :D

  • Well, GUI and computers in general still had a limited user base, and this was aimed at the what-the-hell-is-a-pc crowd, so everything is probably explained in grueling detail in the manual. With instructions for whatever command line program was included, just for the die-hard power-users that thought the mouse was a toy.

  • You don't even sound like a kid or a girl in newer videos but people still think you do in older videos, that sucks

  • This person must be named "Pat" or "Chris" --- I cant tell if it's a male or female!

  • WHY YOU UNBOX IT?!?!?!?

  • Ever get anything back?

  • I have a getting started guide too for windows 3.1

  • I can't tell if this is a man or a woman so I don't know if I should listen or be turned on.

  • @yaosio Whichever makes you happy.

  • @TweeterMan287 Those special sissors stole your late 2009 theme music!

  • @TweeterMan287 now thats creepy !

  • @TweeterMan287 Thats a bit pedophile dont you think people !?

  • @yaosio man...

  • @yaosio Depends on your sexual orientation, for example I'm gay. ;)

  • @yaosio

    Well.. considering their username is TweeterMan...

  • @yaosio its a guy

  • @yaosio Based on the fact the uploader is Tweeterman I'm leaning towards it being a preteen boy. I'd honestly be suprised if he's old enough to remember 3.1, or as I call it 3.AWSOME!!!

  • @floweringplains He was born in '89. He is old enough to remember 3.1 since he had a laptop with it installed on it. I don't know if he remembers it being released though.

  • @JawhnL5 That would have made him 3 for it.. So I think we can safely say he won't remember it.. But maybe the better question is, how/why you know this much about him. I really hope you say your a parental unit of some form!

    On a side note. This video as made me crave some scorched earth...

  • @floweringplains Maybe because he has mentioned his birth date/age in many of his videos? I'm assuming this is the first video made by Tweeterman that you have watched.

  • I used a commodore 64 until the mid to late nineties, then i became crazy.

  • how often do telemarketers confuse you with a little girl over the phone?

    *spoiler: 100% of the time*

  • WHY DO I TYPE IN LANDYACHTZ TIME MACHINE REVIEW AND THIS SHIT POPS!!!

  • This is awesome, me and my little bro -he's 27 now--, would have been so excited opening this back in the old days. We never had an original copy, only the diskettes.

  • 83 people have to read the 350 pages of the manual to install windows! :P

  • LOL, you sound like me.

  • Hahaha So Easy Anyone can use it, and they give you a manual thats 600 pages

  • ur twenty i thought u were like 15

  • Linux might have been a better choice.

  • Microsoft will have the name used instead of User's Guide, Windows 3.1 For Dummies

  • i have that skateboarding game shown in the beginning quite enterraining!

  • Stop dissing 1992!

  • @chica476 are u serious... if you are your reeallllyy screwed up in the head... freak

  • So back then you got a real manual and a set-up guide which is bigger then any actual manual I have seen in the past 10 years. And if your disk drive wasn't compatible they would send you a replacement.

  • you sound hot... what kind of panties are you wearing?

  • @chica476 disGUSTING

  • awesome dude

  • my dad just bought a windows 98 for 5 bucks at a garage sale. its an Arabic PC (at start up, it says Arabic Enabled, and the background was some temple with Arabic letters on it), and i decided to look at what the dude had for his favorites on there. a WHOLE BUNCH of internet searches and sites for lead poisoning, lung cancer, bombs, and back/neck pain.... yeah.... oh, and there was a MS DOS ms pacman game too

  • 82 people don't know how to install windows.

  • that copy is the ugly duckling of windows 3.1. :(

  • haha they thought that user manual was big, ha ha our manuals today are so big we gotta source them online.

  • DUDEEEEE!!!!! You shoulda kept it closed... It would have been an awesome decoration XD!!! BTW i also have my 3.1 floppies. I was shocked when i found em

  • Noob, why open it...

    Check more old windows stuff at my channel Techno1053

  • @Techno1053 you must've just looked at the title and not watch the video. he said that he had an incredibly old laptop (from one of his earlier vids) and he wants to get it working again. therefore, he bought this in order to give the thing a new OS.

  • @Techno1053 You sir are a noob

  • @Techno1053 why not open it? and how does that make him a noob? how about you go advertise your channel elsewhere and while your at it, go f*ck yourself.

  • @plasman1029 Get a life

  • @Techno1053 I'M the one who needs a life? Your the one trying to advertise your channel (which by the way no one wants to see) and calling someone a noob just because they open a box.

    Oh, and only noobs have to go to other people's videos and ask for people to come to their channel.

  • you should do more time machine videos

  • Windows 7 is called 7 because is the build 7601!!!!

  • @josesillo0789 Windows 7 is Windows NT 6.5. WHAT??

  • @mickyd110011 the build not the version dude! see ya :)

  • Is this real? I can't believe! I think it is fake but you said this was 17 years ago.Lmao

  • You do know that Winhdows 7 is actually not the seventh version of Windows, they just gave Windows 7 a really stupid name

  • @DancingMadRB3 Windows 7 is REAL Windows version 7.

    For your information:

    - Windows 98, ME = 4.x

    - Windows XP = 5

    - Windows Vista = 6

    - Windows 7 = version 7

  • @dnscpan

    Wrong

    Windows xp = 5.1.2600

    Windows vista = 6.0.6002

    Windows 7 = 6.1.7601

    Windows 7 is just a name

  • @timmiafl nope you're wrong..

    Windows 7 = 6.1.7601 -> doesn't mean it's Windows 6

    Windows 7 mean it's the *seventh* release of Windows.

    If you're software engineer, you'll know why I said that ^^

    sorry my english id bad..

  • @dnscpan 1. windows 95, 2. windows 98, 3. windows 2000, 4. windows me, 5. windows xp, 6. windows vista, 7. windows 7

  • Fake

  • Fake, plastic bag is very easy to make

  • Arent you a little too young to be using Windows3.1?

    I'm only joking, of course! ;)

    Ahh... nastalgia

  • what would you use 3.1 for

  • I tossed out so many of those at the company i worked for. best thing i ever did

    

  • @TimSDobson didn't you keep at least one?? are you kidding? nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooo!!

  • 1992? WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????!!!!!!­

  • I loled when it said NEW! And I thought it would show bill gates' address.

  • WTF IS LITTLE CAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?1?!

  • For the thick manuals, I still remember how big those manuals were that came wtih software and hardware a like back in like 15 years ago. Still remember the manual that came with my VL-Bus Tseng Labs ET4000 display card...

  • first

  • Awesome video. I LOVE stuff like this. In a way it would have been nice to leave it sealed. Like a sealed vinyl LP it might be worth more. Good job though. I have 3 MAC classics on the file cabinet behind me--two 512's and one SE. Thanks for posting this. Great trip down Memory Lane.

  • hey people try Windows Version 1.0

  • disc 6 was for printer drivers i guess... win3.1 ran on my 80286 and i like the midi driver, it sounded so much better... was it called opl fm or something

  • That kid got a boner after looking at those naked babies.. 0_o

  • @brendino333 Nah, I think you got the boner.

  • @Habbloxian very penis

  • why the fuck am i watching this?

  • Couldn't you install Windows 95?

  • @MarioALuigiFan the laptop probably is too old

  • @Jedieaston You are right.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheViolenceMan

    No you're just hating.

  • @HLM190586 ok i'll delete my comment cause really my reason is not to hate on the guy

  • 1992 :D i was born that year!

  • I have a Windows 95 manual.

  • heavy and old is what ur dick is

  • Since the last time I posted a comment here, I have setup another old machine on the internet with broadband on Win 3.11. However, it is DOS that is the star of the show. Running the internet on broadband with DOS is a different matter. Yet, it works and works surprisingly effeciently. I have used DOSLYNX, Arachne, LYNX 2.8.5, IRC chat, Trumpet Newsreader, DOSGopher and even Email with good old DOS! There's even a new version of DOSLYNX for 2010! Old stuff is fun to tinker with and make cool!

  • I can guarantee you are older than 20, and you're most likely a girl, based on the fact that you say YOU bought a copy of Windows 3.1... YOU bought it? I'm 22 and I'm not even old enough to have bought a copy, the problem being I was about 4 when 3.1 came out. To have bought a copy of windows you would need to be, at a guess, 15 or over, to have enough income anyway. Either you didnt buy that copy, or you're a lot older than you say you are.

  • @philbateman1989 your a dumb ass

  • @SkilledMedia You can call me a dumbass when you learn to spell.

  • @philbateman1989 I'm pretty sure he said that he bought it on eBay.
