Wikipedia is telling me that Trumpet Winsock 1.0A was released in February of 1994. Windows 95 came out in late August of 1995.
18 months. I would have sworn I spent years exploring the internet on Windows 3.1. Memory is a funny thing.
Elissa@gloriouscow Yeah. That said, I remember when '95 came out a LOT of us, especially gamers, were SOOO anti-windows 95 we held off getting it for aaaages. I remember approaching it with curiosity in stores, but refused tog o near it until I had no choice.
(More specifically... until GLQuake/QuakeWorld came out)
@vampiress My friend who had some connections to the warez scene had been running a Chicago beta for a while and hyping up how great it was, so I picked it up pretty much as soon as it came out.
We still had a 386DX-40. Installation took a while.
@gloriouscow AMD one? I had one of those too around then, actually. I loved it. It outperformed my friend's 486SX in a bunch of ways.
@vampiress i could see that if they had the 25Mhz version and didn't install any L2 cache. otherwise a 486 should run circles around a 386.
@gloriouscow This absolutely was bottom spec. 25Mhz. The cheapest 486 friend's mother could buy, I think. She used it for spreadsheets and documents.
sherbang@gloriouscow @vampiress SO much hype over Chicago in all the computer magazines back then.
