@joepie91 sorry, it was dos and windows 1.0 (which was horrible) and then wfw 3.11 (similarly horrible) and then Slackware Linux (which needed the help of a friend to get x11 running).

It was nice that you needed trumpet winsock to connect to the internet (Microsoft didn’t implement tcp/ip natively for wfw).

One thing that stands out for me was that we had 10 mbit/s (and later 100 mbit/s) in our dorm rooms at the Campus in Enschede and that those speeds reached the US at really low latency.

One of the really nice things was when we got quickcam’s that used parallel port as an interface. 😎
